   The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) in Colorado is encouraging   
   cadets to apply for a fellowship program for "gender minorities" that   
   specifies "cisgender" men need not apply.   
      
   The academy sent an email on Sept. 14 informing cadets that the 2023   
   application for the Brooke Owens Fellowship for "undergraduate women   
   and gender minorities interested in aerospace" is due by Oct. 10.   
      
   The application on the fellowship’s website says, "If you are a   
   cisgender man, this program isn’t for you."   
      
   "If you are a cisgender woman, a transgender woman, non-binary,   
   agender, bigender, two-spirit, demigender, genderfluid, genderqueer, or   
   another form of gender minority, this program is for you," the   
   application states. "If you are a cisgender man, this program isn’t for   
   you... but we encourage you to check out our spinoff programs, the   
   Patti Grace Smith Fellowship and the Matthew Isakowitz Fellowship   
   Program."

   Can you believe this has happened to the US military?   
      
   This would not be allowed under any Republican president.
