The U.S. Navy has granted the first-ever waiver under President Trump’s transgender military ban to an individual who had sued to remain in the service.
The news was first reported by CNN. The waiver was granted to the Jane Doe in the case against the transgender military ban filed in March by GLBTQ Advocates & Defenders and the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
The anonymous Navy officer had served two extended tours of duty over nine years and faced discharge because she’s transgender.
