Transgender airmen who are "transitioning" are now allowed to skip their physical fitness tests. Secretary of the Air Force Deborah James made it so by releasing the new "Air Force Policy Memorandum for In-Service Transition for Airmen Identifying as Transgender," on October 6th.(...)If a transgender person does fail a fitness test as the gender they are transitioning from then the Airman’s commander must certify that the transgender person "tried to the best of their ability to meet the standards associated with their current gender" that they are transitioning away from.
Your subject is misleading. It's only during the transition that they're exempt. Once that's finished they are held to the same standard as the sex they transition to.

Your subject title is a reasonable summary of the article, but is ambiguous enough to be read in a misleading way. It doesn't matter that this can be cleared up by reading the first sentence of the article; this doesn't satisfy my laziness, or stop me from trying to score tribal political points by appearing to side with an oppressed minority . . . So I'm going to waste my time complaining about it, okay? Fascist pig.
