WI-Do

Did you receive heightened attention or any distrust after Chelsea Manning came out as trans? Did fellow sailors share anxiety, concern, or suspicion of you because of a high profile case involving a trans individual?

The reason I asked was that I have some family members who are veterans or former military spouses that agreed with Trumps actions to attempt to ban trans folk from the military. Their arguments sometimes focused on mental health, in which they would use the Chelsea Manning case as supposed evidence.

It's good to hear that it didn't cause you any additional issues.
