Rep. Dan Crenshaw faced scrutiny during an interview with Kaitlan Collins regarding his shift from supporting transgender service members in the military to endorsing Trump's new executive order that bans their participation. Citing military readiness, Crenshaw claimed that transitioning disqualifies individuals from serving, despite his earlier assertions promoting open service. Collins highlighted the inconsistency in his arguments, especially given that Trump's ban does not differentiate between those who have undergone medical procedures and those who have not. Advocacy group SPARTA responded critically to the new policy affecting transgender members.
"By definition, if you have transitioned into a different gender, you are not meeting our medical standards...That's my position and it's always been clear."
"I think people should be able to serve openly and tell people what their identity is, and anybody who can meet those standards should be able to serve."
