Mike Pence trans military ban proposal ‘cruel’ and ‘inhumane’, says non-binary veteran

The reintroduction of a trans military ban – as suggested by 2024 presidential candidate Mike Pence – would usher in “hell on Earth” for transgender service personnel, a non-binary veteran and activist has said. 

On 29 July, Republican Pence said it “makes no sense” to let trans people serve openly in the military because they “[erode] unit cohesion in a unique way”.
