Air Force veteran stripped of retirement under Trump's transgender purge
Briefly

Technical Sergeant Alyx Anguiano served in the U.S. Air Force for over 15 years, following a family legacy. She deployed to the Middle East, ran operations, and trained approximately 500 weapons specialists. Anguiano began her gender transition in 2016 and served openly as a transgender woman, finding effectiveness as a leader. However, after the return of restrictive policies under Trump, she was put on administrative leave and faced involuntary separation, jeopardizing her military career and personal achievements.
"I've always wanted to wear the uniform... I fully intended to continue serving this nation until my 20-year mark, and perhaps even beyond."
"I've been nothing but a more effective, stronger, and more capable noncommissioned officer because a massive burden was lifted from my shoulders."
