Joint Chiefs of Staff: "Despite what Prez says, no change in transgender-policy in near future."

One day after the president’s surprise announcement, however, the Joint Chiefs of Staff are telling the military that they should not implement any changes to the current transgender policy until they receive more explicit direction from the White House.

“US Joint Chiefs of Staff tells military there will be no modification to transgender policy until direction received from president,” writes Reuters reporter Idrees Ali.

Ali also reports that Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, sent out a letter informing the military that it should “continue to treat all of our personnel with respect” until it receives guidance from the White House.
