      I've seen a lot of guidance, drafts, reporteds, and rumors from this White House. Until they issue it, I presume they're still fighting.

      So, we now have one report on "guidance" being OK'ed by the White House on trans service, & a legal org using that to say they'll be suing.

      If the White House wanted to issue a policy, they'd issue a policy: An executive order. Guidance is guidance, passing the buck.

      It will lead to policy, yes, but guidance is evidence that even the White House isn't sure how to make Trump's tweets into a lawful policy.

          Anyway, I don't doubt that White House Counsel's Office signed off on guidance relating to trans service, but I urge caution in responses.

          We've been through this w the religious liberty order & the 2nd travel ban. Until something is actually issued by this admin, it's not done.

          With those caveats, and the understanding that I don't think this report captures those realities, here it is: http://www.losangelesblade.com/2017/08/04/trumps-trans-military-ban-now-policy/ …

          (I greatly respect @KarenOcamb's work; I just differ with her about the approach to this report.)

          And, this is the resulting legal attack (which I get, is advocacy), from @LambdaLegal: https://www.lambdalegal.org/blog/20170805_lambda-legal-will-sue-trump-over-trans-ban …
