I teach middle schoolers and as soon as I read a complex sentence ending with this relative clause:

which seems to be a common misconception.

I was like "...this does not sound like the written voice of a 13-year-old let me go re-read that title" lol.

DADT was repealed in 2011 which allowed gay service members to be honest about their orientation. At that time, trans service members were still legally required to stay in the closet and did not have access to trans healthcare.

I fail to see how this question is relevant to a trans service member today who joined in 2012. Also, there are exactly 0 people in serious military policy discussions in favor of restoring DADT.
