It is not allowed for the American air force that comes out in flying colors to serve their country

I felt in the American army as an invitation to the fisherman Marquis.

The 22 -year -old trainee has spent the past four years in training at the American Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and reached its climax at the emotional graduation ceremony last week, surrounded by friends and families.

With a degree in air engineering and applied mathematics, Marquis is expected to be assigned as a second lieutenant and a combat systems officer.

Instead, they were prevented from service and were placed on an administrative leave during the era of the military ban of US President Donald Trump, along with two of their graduate colleagues.

“I loved this country … so I thought this is the best thing I could do in my life, it was repeating,” said Marquis. As it happens Nil Kӧksal host. “To be a transgender does not determine my ability to serve.”

Regardless, being a transgender defines their eligibility for service, according to the US Air Force.

“Members of the service and the applicants for military service who have a current diagnosis or date or offer symptoms compatible with the dyslexia that do not correspond to the requirements of military service and are no longer eligible,” CBC spokesman said in an e -mail.

The gender imbalance is a diagnostic term sometimes used to describe the distress that someone feels when his sexual identity is in contradiction to the sex that was appointed at birth.

Support from teachers, classmates and graduates

Soon after assuming his post, Trump released Executive Except for transgender people from service in the army.

Many of the legal challenges of politics make its way through the courts, including the lawsuit in which Marquis is a prosecutor. However, in May, the US Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration could implement its ban while these cases continue.

Days later, US Defense Secretary Beit Higseth – the former Fox News host who referred to the transgender men as “Men in dresses– They released a final date: Sexual service members until June 6 have to get to know themselves and start the “voluntary separation” process of the army.

He said that anyone who does not comply be found.

This court ruling and the deadline for Marquis’s future.

“I used to get a guaranteed job. You know, I was riding it for four years. Now I don’t do.” “Now I have to go home and know what my next step will be.”

Marquis says that their teachers and colleagues were supportive. What’s more, more than 1,000 American military academy graduates signed An open message to support transit and non -bilateral students.

“We believe a firm belief that the simple truth of being transgender does not in any way correspond to any of the virtues and values ​​dear to our academies,” she says. “Instead, we understand that living as an original person as a transformed person, especially in our academies, is often a deep expression of them.”

Passing through the long signature menu that brought tears or Marquise’s eyes.

They said: “Some of these names that I got to know. I was the best friends with them, or I had played sport with them. They were in my swarm, or I knew them in the class.” “So it really meant a lot.”

Trump says that transit forces are not “appropriate for duty”

Trump’s order states that transgender officers are not “mentally and physically suitable for duty.” Marquis takes a problem with this confirmation.

“I met all the criteria when I was working under a sexual sign. Then when I moved to the male sex mark, I still met all the criteria,” Marquis said.

“There was nothing I was lacking in. There was nothing less.

Currently, Marquez is still trained with full benefits. They and their colleagues from the graduates who crossed on an administrative leave. This can change with the approach of the Hogsith date on June 6 quickly.

A memorandum of military copper stated that students who do not leave the army voluntarily before the deadline “may” have to pay the cost of their education, which, in the MAQUEZ case, adds approximately $ 400,000.

US Air Force CBC told the graduates who choose voluntary separation “will not be subjected to cash payment.”

Marquis, however, does not intend to leave for a good mind. They said they confirmed that they would not have to pay their lessons, in both cases. This Air Force has not confirmed to CBC.

“I think what is happening is unfair and I want to stay in the Air Force for as long as possible,” Marquis said. “The Air Force will have to be the person who expels me.”

When and if that happens, Marquis plans to return to school to obtain a graduate degree.

They are also the prosecutor in Talbot against the United StatesOne of the many legal challenges against the sexually transformed military embargo.

“I put my confidence in the American justice system and I wish the best, but I also want to remain realistic,” said Marquis. “We will continue to fight to the end.”
