      Not whether to ban, how to implement the ban. All Mattis statements clear that study is "how to implement." Sloppy reporting is harmful.

      I meant whether to ban currently serving trans troops, which seems very much an open question under Trump's order, no?

      Reporters are not bothering to read the actual directive, which is quite clear. And Mattis also clear that "study" is how to implement ban.

      Doesnt the highlighted language allow Mattis to grandfather in openly trans troops who are currently serving?pic.twitter.com/KkM5PStbsi

      No, it directs him to plan how to implement ban for those now serving by Feb 21, before ban takes effect March 23. That's what the ban is.

      It's not a model of clarity and I think could be read either way. I suspect Mattis will read it my way to minimize disruption.

      I think there is an advocacy reading of Trump's order that makes sense in a litigation posture as a possible reading — but I don't think ...

      ... that's the only reading or even necessarily the best, most logical, reading.

      Wishful thinking that disregards both the plain text, which says ban in effect March 25, and Mattis's careful statements.

      Pentagon already taking steps to implement. Trans service members already being harmed. Ban on enlistment in effect now. Ppl hurt now.

      I'm not arguing about if trans people are being hurt now (I think the PI args have merit), & I'm obviously not arguing about enlistment.
