      Looks like the military is still working out getting everyone on board with the new transgender recruitment rules. One guy was told today that he couldn't enlist b/c he's trans (but the military quickly corrected it):https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/this-man-was-just-told-he-cant-enlist-in-the-military?utm_term=.kiX1qB9Qz#.edNxgXw38 …

      Really important point here: The military isn't going to want to change things back. They're making the change.

          The military is a huge bureaucracy. Change takes time and planning and effort — which was why Trump's tweets were such a dud from the start, since the change had already started. Now that the accession rules have changed, it would be very unusual to see a reversal.

          That's why I was so focused on whether DOJ/DOD would be going all out to stop the Jan. 1 accession deadline. They didn't.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/has-the-trump-administration-stopped-fighting-the-jan-1?utm_term=.twNZN6apq#.rrO6wJ3LA …

          Now, trans people are signing up — as @dominicholden reported yesterday: https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/transgender-americans-say-theyre-finally-starting-to-apply?utm_term=.qvj47WqaJ#.ebnaBmk02 … — and errors in the implementation are being quickly corrected:https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/this-man-was-just-told-he-cant-enlist-in-the-military?utm_term=.ptzblBqQr#.sczNoEbKy …

          Trump's order still exists, but there are out trans service members and openly trans people signing up — a reality that weakens any legal argument that might have been pressed to support Trump's would-be ban.

          It's basically impossible to say anything is definitively "OVER" these days, but it's very tough for me to see Trump's tweets from last July ever becoming reality.pic.twitter.com/viYPpX36MS
