Army Secretary: Soldiers don't worry about trans soldiers, they ask about food & pay

By Jeff Taylor · Monday, February 19, 2018

Army Secretary Mark Esper has said that during his first three months in the role, none of the soldiers he has met have voiced concern over serving alongside transgender individuals. In fact, no one has even asked about it.

“It really hasn’t come up,” Esper told reporters late last week, ABC reports.

During his time visiting soldiers across America, as well as in South Korea, Europe, and Afghanistan, Esper said soldiers were mostly brought up issues like pay and the quality of the food.

Esper shared that he has also met with “six or seven” active duty transgender soldiers during his first 30 days on the job. He called hearing their perspectives “helpful” while he considers the issue.
