Among those affected is a Filipino transwoman working in the military.

Akira Wyatt is a runway model, strutting for the likes of Kenneth Barlis and Los Angeles Fashion Week.

Growing up in Cebu, she described herself as gay, and she eventually moved to the United States at the age of 15.

She joined the US Navy as a combat medic six years ago at 19, shortly before the "don't ask, don't tell" policy was being repealed.


"My dad was [a member of the] Marine corps and it was something that had a strong presence in my family. I felt there was an obligation for me, not just for my family but for myself...In a way I can be myself. I felt I was obligated to serve my country. The job that I have now is a hospital..., basically medic and I love doing a lot of medical work. I love serving the Marines on the field," Wyatt said.

Wyatt has been deployed three times in her career as a combat medic for the Marines. She believes her gender identity never interfered with her missions.
