Fouad al-Reme, a nurse in the hospital, said Hajar was conscious when she came to the hospital but she suffered low oxygen levels. "She was like skin on bones, her body was emaciated," he said.

美国国防部计划废除对变性人服役的禁令,从而结束在内部进行的变性人如何以公开身份在军中服役的激烈辩论。

《今日美国报》星期五援引一名不透露姓名的五角大楼高级官员的话报道,预计这项决定将于7月1日公布。五角大楼一名发言人星期六电邮给美国之音的声明说:“国防部预计在未来几周里完成有关变性人在军中服役的政策,但没有定出宣布的日期。”

目前变性军人可以被开除。这项改变需要得到国防部长批准。美国国防部长卡特去年曾经表示,目前对变性军人的规章条例是“过时的,引起不确定性,从而令指挥官们对核心行动分心。” 他呼吁进行审核,他说,除非有迹象显示“不利的冲击”,否则将取消这项禁令。

每个部门都将有一年的时间来实施这项改变,这将影响到招募士兵,军装和兵营等方面。

路透社以全国变性人平等中心的数据为消息来源报道说,估计有1.5万名变性人在美国军中服役。
