The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article relates to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them.
This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans women. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it does not match what is most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Some people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names of living persons may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.
@Launchballer: there is also Bree Fram, but I started that article back in 2024 but her retirement ceremony was in 2026.. I'm not sure if there's a time period limitation for DYK. Thank you for nominating these articles, it means a lot! I am working on more as I come across media/news articles on them. But these above the only so far that I have written that were discharged during Trump's trans military ban. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 16:56, 12 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Willthacheerleader18: Actually there is: WP:DYKNEW has a one-week period; there's a grace period for a few days, but two years is far too long. The most realistic route would be to nominate her for GA, but it takes time and I think we can run the hook without Fram's name. Please let us know when you're done with all of them. ミラP@Miraclepine18:32, 12 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
In Corcoran, "in North Attleborough, Massachusetts" is not supported by attached refs, and ref 2 only says they lived "outside of Boston in the 1990s".
And given the three Sun Chronicle sources in Corcoran are pre-transition, what's the rule for attaching sources to a BLP based on deadnames; can we connect them with ABOUTSELF-compliant sources that aren't in the article?
Vandal: "After serving in Afghanistan, Vandal served on crisis response teams in South Korea and supported NATO allies in Romania." = "I’ve also supported NATO allies in Romania and served on crisis response teams in South Korea.";
Krizek: "manned and unmanned platforms in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation New Dawn[disambiguation needed], and Operation Enduring Freedom" = "manned and unmanned platforms in support of Operations IRAQI FREEDOM, NEW DAWN, and ENDURING FREEDOM";
Ireland: "Afghanistan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and South Korea in support of Operation Odyssey Dawn, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Freedom's Sentinel" = "Afghanistan, Qatar, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates in support of Operation Odyssey Dawn, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Freedom’s Sentinel".
Other problems: - In Krizek, New Dawn needs a dab fix. Given the cpara I had to fix, might be inclined to summarize that sentence differently instead.
Overall: After a shitload of time, it's finally done! Prose sizes 2646, 2062, 2422, 2377, 2721. All created two days before nom, except Ireland's which was created one day before nom. Image is PD as a US Air Force creation. One source in Bruce is WP:NEWSWEEK, but it's written by her so fine for ABOUTSELF. Bruce also has one cn tag. I don't think the Trump mention is a DYKBLP problem given transphobia is prominent enough to be on the Trump lede (on top of his bigotry being an essential part of numerous subsections); after all we once ran a hook on the Elon Musk salute.
Quotes verifying the hook:
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Vandal: Ref 2: instead, my thriving career was cut short by President Donald Trump’s executive order barring *Corcoran: ref 7: Army Maj. Kara Corcoran has two deployments to Afghanistan, 18 years of service and a record she said the military itself calls exemplary. Last week, the Army separated her anyway because she is transgender. Corcoran involuntarily separated from the Army last year after President Donald Trump banned transgender people from the military.
Krizek
ref 5: Air Force Lt. Col. Erin Krizek said she was being separated “not because my performance, commitment, or ideals have been found lacking, but because the policy changed on who could serve.”
ref 6: The event was a direct result of President Donald Trump’s 2025 Executive Order 14183, titled “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness,” which directed the Pentagon to adopt policies prohibiting trans, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming people from serving in the military. ... Lt. Col. (Ret.) Erin Krizek from the U.S. Air Force [and other trans personnel] were granted the chance to say goodbye to more than 100 years of combined service to the country.
Ireland:
ref 6: Eight years ago — under President Trump's first term — Air Force Master Sgt. Logan Ireland needed a doctor's note diagnosing him with gender dysphoria to continue serving his country. Now, that same doctor's note is the reason why he's being kicked out of service. Earlier this year, the Pentagon included gender dysphoria as one of the medical conditions that disqualify people from military service.
ref 7: Master Sgt. Logan Ireland, a transgender airman caught in limbo after a January executive order mandated the discharge of all transgender service members
Bruce: ref 2: sitting in her car, Bruce learned that the U.S. Supreme Court had cleared the way for the Trump administration to move forward with a policy announced in late January 2025, barring transgender people from military service. President Donald Trump had demanded the ban. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was implementing it. Bruce’s career was effectively over.
@Miraclepine: Apologies for carving up your post to reply, but I think I've addressed everything. I just realised I could have crowbarred Laila Ireland into the hook by changing "Logan Ireland" to "the partner of Laila Ireland", but it's probably too late at twelve days.--Launchballer14:36, 22 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
