Five transgender members of the United States military testified in front of Congress on Wednesday, the first to do so publicly.Army Capt. Alivia Stehlik, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Blake Dremann, Army Capt. Jennifer Peace, Army Staff Sgt. Patricia King and Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Akira Wyatt all testified in front of the House Armed Services Committee, according to the Washington Post.All five testified that they were able to do their jobs effectively after transitioning. Some testified that their fellow soldiers were comfortable with their transition, and their transition even allowed others to open up to them.“They talked to me and told me things they never would have before,” Stehlik said. “Things they said they’ve never told other people. I asked them why, and the consistent answer is that they valued my authenticity — my courage in being myself. It allowed them to do the same thing.”The Obama administration repealed a ban on transgender persons in the military in 2016, allowing active military members to serve openly as transgender for the first time in decades. But in 2017, President Trump abruptly changed the policy in a series of tweets. While a number of lawsuits have been filed and are ongoing, the Supreme Court recently ruled to lift an injunction in some cases, keeping the ban in place. The five military members testified that they all sought medical treatments as part of their transition that prevented them from deploying, but all said they were able to do so by taking personal leave in between deployments.Rep. Jackie Speier (D-California), who called the meeting, was among the representatives to file a bill that would allow transgender service members to serve openly earlier this month. That bill has been referred to committee. Even if it were to be passed by the House and Senate, it would likely face a veto from the president.Alex Hider is a writer for the E.W.

Going to college can be life changing. For many students, that means studying something they enjoy, getting a degree in that subject and then chasing the American dream. But for others, pursuing a higher education can turn into a nightmare “I just felt so bad for my parents,” said college student Annalise Hoerter. “I was like, ‘they just spent so much money on me and now I have to get it back.” Hoerter attended the now defunct The Art Institute of Colorado for three-and-a-half years studying photography. With just six months shy of graduating, the school lost its accreditation and closed – costing Hoerter big bucks and causing her a whole lot of headaches “Right now, I’m in the hole for ,000,” she said. “That was definitely a dark cloud over the school.” Stories like Hoerter’s popped up across the country as several for-profit schools either lost their accreditation or shut down completely In 2016, one of the largest for-profit schools on the country, ITT Technical Institute, shut its door for good – sending some of its students into a frenzy and leaving them with massive debt. “At first, we were able to provide outreach and personalized guidance to help students to see how they might be able to transition from a for-profit college to a state institution,” said Richard Curtis of Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. The public college was one of several schools to reach out to former ITT Tech students and help them continue their education. “Our program chairs and our faculty, they worked directly with the students to help them evaluate their background so that they could get onto a new pathway,” he said. Though schools like Cincinnati State helped some students get back into school, many were still left with debt and nowhere to go. Rules for debt relief have changed with the presidential administrations. That's where organizations like the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators step in. NASFAA says it's helped more than 6,000 students at 30 closed institutions across the country apply to the department of education to get their student loans canceled.“There’s a lot of things that goes through a student’s mind when they’re informed that their school is closing down,” said Thad Spaulding, interim associate vice president of enrollment management at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Spaulding says prospective students need to do their homework before committing to any school – public or for-profit. “It’s warranted for students to do a little bit of time researching that they want to attend whether it be through studentaid.gov,” he said. Though Hoerter still carries tens of thousands of dollars of student debt, she was able to transfer to MSU Denver where she’s six months away from graduating and has accepted a job as a school photographer. For now, she says she’s working with a loan company in hopes of cutting down her Art Institute debt. “Which in the end is fantastic,” she said. “But it’s still ,000 of a degree that I’m never going to get.” 3056

I totally get why vegans won't be eating the Burger King Rebel Whopper in the UK, but to see so many asking "what's the point?" seems utterly bizarre. What, you'd prefer the largest burger chains in the world didn't introduce plant-based options? This progress is HUGE!— Sam W ? (@saminalrights) January 6, 2020 323
