    "Supporters of the ban say openly transgender troops would create complications on issues from housing to health care."

    ...It says near the end. So... closeted transgender troops are fine? I don't follow military law, but it sounds like the transgender version of Don't Ask Don't Tell? Regardless, allowing openly transgender individuals to serve would be a good step by way of employment equality.
