The Canadian military says it mistakenly rejected the application of a transgender woman from Brantford, Ont., over concerns related to her hormone replacement therapy. "For complex cases, whether they're transgender or otherwise, they're going to go to our senior medical office from now on. "We don't want this to happen to transgender folks who are trying to get into the military, or anyone who is trying to get into the military with a condition." "We never turn an applicant away based on the fact that they may be on hormonal replacement medication," he said. "And my doctor has already said there's no reason my use of this drug would debilitate my performance in the military," she said.
