Sunday's New York Times carried a badly disguised opinion piece on page two from defense reporter Helene Cooper headlined "When Soldiers Plead Their Humanity." Cooper wrote, "I suspect that in years to come, when I am recounting what it was like to be a Pentagon correspondent, I will remember far more the combination of hurt and defiance in the voice of a transgender American service member when I asked him how it felt to wake up Wednesday morning to a tweet from President Trump that he was no longer welcome in this country's all-volunteer military." Jennifer Sims (formerly known as Jonathan Sims) under the sensitive headline "'I am transgender': A US soldier shares personal journey." Sims wrote an email to fellow troops lamenting, "So in the initial moments after the tweet, I saw myself forced into the state that I was in before I started transitioning - a state of depression, exhaustion and inability to enjoy things."
