The New York Times reports that Navy and Marine Corps review boards have voted to keep transgender service members in the military in nine of 12 cases, despite Pentagon instructions to recommend their discharge. According to the Times, Navy boards recommended retention in seven of nine cases since July, and Marine Corps boards did so in two of three cases since August. The Times says it based its findings on interviews with service members and lawyers, because officials have not released the outcomes. The boards hold closed hearings that outsiders, including spouses, may not attend. The Daily Wire and Breitbart News repeat these findings and attribute them to the Times. The boards operate under the administration’s ban on transgender military service.
