There are thousands of service members who happen to be trans.
Despite being labeled undisciplined, dishonorable, liars who lack humility in an executive order and "toxic identity garbage" by the Secretary of Defense, they have served with honor and distinction.
These are their stories.

Happy Halloween from four-year-old me.
Yeah, I always knew.
I wanted to be Wonder Woman — strong, kind, and brave enough to fight for truth, justice, and the American way.
Back then, I thought it was a costume.
But it’s who I am, and who I aspire to be.
Well… maybe with fewer stars on my shorts.

My last military crew was S5R; said properly, S5Arrgh! We were the pirates. We even planned a pirate-themed party this spring, and I had my costume ready to board ship. But before the revelry began, the government made me walk the plank. I didn't get to share another round of laughter with the crew.
