101st Army Airborne Division in Afghanistan and Michigan Army National Guard, dropped her discrimination lawsuit in hopes of a more
inclusive military But the intolerance didn t magically dissipate overnight. Below, in her own words, McIntyre on
the continued harassment trans service members face for simply for being who they are and how we can close this exclusionary chapter for good.

Born in 1967 in Walnut Creek, CA I enlisted into the Marine Corps at the age of 18 in 1986. I went into a communication MOS and was stationed in 29 Palms, Camp Pendleton, and spent my last year in Okinawa. I discharged in 1990 and joined the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department in 1991 (after undergoing a 11 month hiring process) and have been with the department ever since then.
A political junkie since my early days in High School I still have vivid memories arguing with my liberal mother over Reagan, and even though I was too young to vote in 1984 I actively campaigned for Reagan by placing signs and stickers where ever I could.
