Sky News host Rowan Dean reacts to a transgender US Space Force colonel urging the military to “initiate difficult conversations about racial and gender barriers” and “share a bit of your vulnerability”.
US transgender colonel calls for a ‘focus on inclusivity’ in military
Lieutenant Colonel Bree Fram said in a speech to the US Air Force that dignity and respect is the “bare minimum”, and we must “set our sights higher and focus on intentional inclusivity”.
“Because there are still far too many people out there – not just LGBT individuals – that feel marginalised, shut out or discriminated against.
“All of you out there, I ask you to set out your symbols of pride, share your pronouns in your email, particularly if you’re a person who doesn’t think they need to.
“Initiate difficult conversations about racial and gender barriers and share a bit of your vulnerability in a way that draws others in.”
“I’m really not sure that showing your vulnerabilities to draw others in is a brilliant military strategy,” said Mr Dean.
