Transgender troops say they want to serve openly

The landmark repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" in 2011 allowed gays and
lesbians to serve openly in the U.S. military.

Now, transgender individuals on active duty and veterans who have served are
fighting for the same right.

At a one-day conference in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 20, troops and veterans
who switched sexes while on active duty or afterward said transgender people
serving in uniform should not have to hide who they are.
