Transgender veteran speaks out against Trump’s service ban

By Colin Raunig @colinraunig

A transgender military veteran shared his story of service on July 30, in response to President Donald Trump’s tweets prohibiting transgender individuals from enlisting or serving in the miltary.

Kim Chambers, the director of NoCo Safespace, hosted the event after President Donald Trump tweeted on July 26 that transgender members would no longer be able to enlist or serve in the military.

Kaelen McCarthy served in the Navy from 1990 to 1994 as a welder stationed on a ship in Hawaii. McCarthy transitioned in 2002.

McCarthy believes Trump’s tweets are harmful to transgender military members.

“It’s made it unsafe, both for those serving in the military and as a veteran,” McCarthy

said. McCarthy said he has dealt with harassment while living as a transgender man, and he experienced harassment while in active duty before transitioning.

McCarthy suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, stemming from two separate sexual assault incidents perpetrated by other active duty service members. He was also harassed for his appearance and perceived sexuality while in active duty.

According to McCarthy, stigma still surrounds transgender military veterans.

Although the Veterans Affairs hospital has paid for his testosterone medication following his service in the Navy, McCarthy often has to educate the VA doctors on how to care for him. Some doctors have refused to treat him because he is transgender.

“We’re not getting the help that we need, or, in some aspects,

the respect,” McCarthy said.

McCarthy believes that there needs to be more training and visibility regarding transgender service members.

A 2016 RAND Corporation study estimated between 1,320 and 6,630 transgender service members are in the active duty military, which is less than 0.5 percent of active personnel.

State Representative Joan Ginal, a board member of NoCo Equality, said that transgender military members are just as patriotic as non-transgender personnel and rejects President Trump’s stance. “(President Trump’s tweet) is unnecessary, and it’s just stirring up hatred,” Ginal said.

Ginal cited a figure from a Defense-Department commissioned study published last year by the Research and Development (RAND) Corporation that indicated gender-transitionsee SERVICE BAN on page 6 >>

Fort Collins’ complicated relationship with trains CITY

By Mir-Yashar Sevedbagheri @dudesosad

Fort Collins is alive with the sound of trains. Day and night, one might hear its commanding horn or get stopped at a crossing.

The ubiquitous train has been a part of the city’s fabric since the 1870s, and the relationship has been a complicated one.

Several railroad lines run through the city. The most prominent line is the Burlington Northern Santa Fe line, which runs down Mason Street, past the Colorado State University campus, and through the edges of Old Town. The line sees about nine trains daily, according to an article in the Coloradoan.

The city has tried and failed to establish a quiet zone near the area where the trains run. The proposed zone would have run from Old Main Drive on the CSU campus to Cherry Street north of the intersection with College Avenues. Trains would be prohibited from blowing their horns within the zone.

The proposal was rejected by the Federal Railroad Administration, due to significant safety hazards. In particular, the FRA cited the absence of railroad crossing gates.

With the failed quiet zone effort and the ever-steady train activity, the trains have an impact on nearby residents and businesses.

Tedla, an employee of the Alley Cat Café on Laurel, just a stone’s throw from the tracks, said the train adds a cool element.

“Most towns don’t have a train running through the streets,” he said.

He added that the train added an eclectic vibe to Fort Collins.

Unequivocal support for the train was in the minority.

Connor Garland, associate director of Everyday Joe’s Coffee House on Mason Street described his relationship with the train as regular - and complicated. He said the train has unique role in the community, but said he has issues with the volume of the horns and the railroad’s lack of general etiquette. “(The trains are) annoying and disruptive,” Garland said.

Garland said some engineers were far more considerate than others, blowing their horns only moderately, and suggested the engineers rethink the lengthy horn blasts at each crossing.

“We need to have rules making sure the horn is below a certain amount of decibels,” Garland said.

In addition to the temporary disruption to patrons, Garland also believed that the train has had adverse impacts on business.

He said the train was disruptive to commerce on Mason Street and he cited the high turnover of businesses in this particular area.

“While it’s not causal, there’s

definitely a correlation,” he said.

Garland is not the only one with a complicated relationship with the train.

Colleen Canty, a CSU alumna, is a patron of Everyday Joe’s Coffee House. Canty said the train horns have nearly caused her to fall from her bike. Canty believes reducing the speeds at which the trains travel would allow the trains to travel more safely, thus reducing the need for the loud horns.

At the same time, Canty said there is a certain romanticism to the train’s presence, something that recalls the past.

“I like the idea of our lives being interrupted, of our routines

being interrupted. It gives us good practice to be able to adapt,” Canty said. “(The trains are) a vestigial piece of old times.”

Veteran reacts to ban related medical treatment would cost the military between $2.4 million and $8.4 million annually, only a .13 percent increase in health care spending. She also dismisses the notion that transgender individuals are taking advantage of the military.

“No one’s going into the military to become transgender,” Ginal said.

McCarthy said that despite the current societal stigma, it’s easier to come out as transgender now than it was before. He sympathizes with the difficulties faced by current transgender military members and rejects the backlash against people like him.

“It’s not a big deal at all,” McCarthy said, about being transgender. “If people would just be like, ‘you’re human,’ instead of

putting a label on it, (then) you’re human. It doesn’t matter.”

McCarthy said that he has some friends who are still against his lifestyle. Some of his conservative high school friends believe his being transgender is a choice.

McCarthy counters this belief.

“According to them, God doesn’t make mistakes,” McCarthy said. “But, he does put people on different paths.”

McCarthy had a message of positivity for everyone, transgender or not.

“If we’re not our authentic selves, then people can’t take us at face value,” McCarthy said.

“Live as authentically as you can, and it will create a better space for all of us.”

Doris Duke awarded to first Colorado student ByPiper Davis @piperldavis

ENJOY THE LAST FEW WEEKS OF THE SUMMER, RAMS. WE’LL SEE YOU DURING THE FALL SEMESTER. -COLLEGIAN STAFF

Sarah Prendergast returned home one spring day and was surprised to see an email from the Doris Duke Fellowship program and a message on her phone from her faculty advisor.

Prendergast, a doctoral candidate at Colorado State University in the Applied Developmental Science program in the Department of Human and Development and Family Studies, was one of 15 students in the nation to receive the prestigious Doris Duke Fellowship for the Promotion of Child Well-Being and is the first student from a college or university in Colorado to receive the fellowship in its history.

“Before reading anything, I remember thinking, ‘Could it be?’” Prendergast said. “It was an incredible feeling to receive the fellowship.”

Prendergast is one of 15 students in the nation to receive the Doris Duke Fellowship for the Promotion of Child Well-Being and is the first student from a college or university in Colorado to receive the fellowship.

According to Prendergast, to be considered for the fellowship, applicants must prepare a research proposal that addresses the topic of child maltreatment prevention and the promotion of child well-being. Applicants are also required to identify a policy mentor. Prendergast chose Rich Jones, the Director of Research and Policy at the Belly Policy

Center in Denver.

Prendergast will receive $30,000 annually for up to two years to complete her dissertation and research at CSU. “The purpose of the fellowship is to identify and develop a cohort of leaders to research and develop programs or policies that can promote child development and prevent maltreatment,” Prendergast said. “The fellowship provides an annual stipend for two years and the opportunity to collaborate with a cohort of 14 other fellows. Together, we will attend meetings, receive training, and work on projects related to our specific interest areas.”

Born and raised in Illinois, Prendergast received her bachelor’s degree in psychology from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Prendergast moved to Fort Collins to receive her master’s, and now doctorate, degree because of the ADS program’s emphasis on using research to solve real-world problems.

Prendergast spent much of her free time participating in humanitarian volunteering opportunities during her youth and throughout her college career, many of which involved working with individuals facing homelessness and families in crisis.

“In many cases, I remember wondering how some individuals seemingly ‘bounced-back’ from these situations, while others did not,” Prendergast said.

‘Resilience’ Professors awarded by Boettcher Foundation studied David MacPhee, and several other faculty in the HDFS department who also study this topic, I came to understand this as being ‘resilience.’”

Prendergast’s interest in this idea developed not only into a career path of studying psychology, but also a doctoral dissertation.

“Understanding families from this risk and resilience perspective can help us implement policies and programs that are more targeted to individual needs, rather than one-size-fitsall strategies,” Prendergast said.

In August, the fellowship will allow her to dedicate more time to work with the Bell Policy Center and work on her dissertation and other policy-relevant work.

“My biggest goal, following the fellowship and earning my doctorate degree, would be to find a position where I can use the skills I have gained in this program and fellowship to improve children’s and families’ lives,” Prendergast said.

The Boettcher Foundation, a Colorado scholarship organization that champions the potential of Colorado students and professors, offers a Biomedical Research Grant. Assistant professors, towards the beginning of their research career, are nominated by their department, where they then write a project summary and progress through the selection process. The assistant professors with the most potential and the most revolutionary ideas are selected for the grant.

Two assistant professors at Colorado State University, Kelley Santangelo and Erin Nishimura, were selected to receive this year’s grant.

Assistant Professor Kelly Santangelo Assistant Professor Kelly Santangelo works in clinical pathology and received the grant for her research in post-traumatic osteoarthritis, which focuses on military-related injuries.

“The goal of my research is to maintain functional and painfree mobility for all species,” Santangelo said. “We take

motion for granted until it’s inhibited.”

Post-traumatic osteoarthritis is a breakdown of cartilage and other assistive joint tissues after injury. Trauma releases cell debris that incites inflammation, predominantly through Toll-like receptor 4, a transmembrane protein involved in immunity.

Over time, this inflammation and structural damage leads to irreversible degeneration, which results in this condition. To study this, Santangelo uses rodent models with ACL ruptures to look at clinically approved medicines to test their effects on disease onset and progression.

Santangelo said she did not always think that she wouldd end up studying post-traumatic osteoarthritis.

“When I was an undergraduate, I wanted to be a horse vet,” Santangelo said. “But, while in vet school, I became interested in the ‘why’ of diseases, and thought I could create a broader impact on the lives of animals through research.”

Santangelo said she became passionate about the importance of mobility and improving the quality of life as people are living longer. She is honored to

receive this grant and to be able to focus more on her research, rather than writing proposals to grants.

“My research is very dear to my heart,” Santangelo said. “I’m exceedingly honored to receive this transformational grant, and am grateful for the support that Colorado State has made in my career and the future careers of my graduate students.”

Assistant Professor Erin Nishimura Assistant Professor Erin Nishimura works in the Biochemistry and the Molecular Biology department at Colorado State University. She received the grant for her research in the genetic code that determines a cell’s identity.

“I research how a cell’s identity arises, and what happens if a cell’s identity is lost,” Nishimura said. “An example of a cell losing its identity is cancer. When a cell fails to progress, it keeps multiplying and making more of those cells, which is cancerous.”

A living being originates from one cell: a zygote. From there, cells undergo rapid rounds of division and differentiation.

It is understood that certain genes are turned on at different

times, but the the missing piece is which proteins activate which genes that result in each different type of cell.

This process is a complex and interconnected network.

To study this, Nishimura uses a worm model, C elegans, because of the shorter life span and the simplified cell differentiation that they have compared to humans.

Nishimura has studied similar questions in the past, but what she’s studying now is the heart of her interest.

“I’ve always been interested in developmental biology,” Nishimura said. “Biology is very complex. Inherited traits and how a genome is activated translates into the looks and functions of animals and human beings.”

Nishimura’s lab has been running for around eighteen months and has grown in numbers. Nishimura said she has loved working at CSU. “I enjoy how collaborative everyone is,” Nishimura said.

“My research has benefitted from friendships and collaborations with other professors. It’s been incredibly satisfying.”

COLLEGIAN COLUMNISTS

Trump’s transgender military ban is nothing but a baseless tweet Lauren Willson @LaurenKealani

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by the Collegian or its editorial board.

On July 26th, Trump announced via Twitter that transgender individuals will no longer be permitted to serve in the U.S. military “in any capacity.”

While Trump claimed that his decision was made after consulting “Generals and military experts,” this seems to be untrue.

Secretary of Defense James Mattis was out of the country when the viral announcement was made, and Army Chief of Staff Mark Milley was not even aware of the decision until he heard about it in a news report.

Upon closer inspection, Trump’s decision is nothing but a thinly veiled act of discrimination against an already marginalized demographic. Fortunately, at the moment it is only a tweet; no official legislation has been passed. However, if this ban is indeed upheld, thousands of transgender persons will become further financially, medically, and socially compromised.

Trump asserted that the military ban on transgender individuals was due to the “tremendous medical costs and disruption” that they would create.

This is completely unfounded. A RAND Corporation study found that transgender-related healthcare expenses would cost the military $2.4-8.4 million annually. At most, that amounts to a mere 0.017% of the Defense Department’s yearly expenditures (based on 2014’s $49.3 billion).

As for Trump’s claim that transgender individuals are a “disruption” in military readiness, it is important to consider that the RAND study also determined “less than 0.1 percent of the total force would seek transition-related care that could disrupt their ability to deploy.”

Transgender persons are clearly not joining the military to receive hormone treatments or gender reassignment surgery. They are joining because they want to serve their beloved country.

So Trump’s two sole “reasons”—medical costs and “disruption”—for the ban are moot, if not entirely baseless. What, then, does this mean for the transgender persons currently serving?

It means greater financial, medical, and social strain.

Currently, the U.S. military is believed to be the largest employer of transgender persons in the world. A 2014 estimate by a nonpartisan national commission placed the number of employed at 15,500, with between 1,320 and 6,630 transgender service members in active duty military. Since the Obama administration lifted the military ban on transgender individuals in 2016, that number has most likely risen.

It’s difficult for transgender persons to find and keep jobs in other fields due to issues like harassment, employer discrimination, and insecure housing.

Hence, having the ability to serve in the military is not only a privilege but a financial necessity for many transgender individuals.

Furthermore, if the Trump Administration continues on its current trajectory, it’s fair to assume that policies similar to the era of “Don’t ask, don’t tell” may be reinstated. If this happens, current transgender military members will be labeled “mentally unfit for service” and forced to discharge.

This type of dismissal does not provide former employees with any benefits, meaning they will not have access to VA hospitals. So not only will transgender persons be struggling financially, but medical issues may go untreated too.

Finally, the social stigma against transgender individuals may be worsened by Trump’s bigoted decision. If certain people are deemed unfit and unworthy of serving our country, why should they be deemed fit and worthy of things like education, employment, or respect? (Let it

be known that I certainly do not hold such a view myself, but radical Trump supporters might.)

Here in Colorado, we are fortunate enough to have tolerant communities and laws that support nondiscriminatory practices. Just recently, our state passed an act which bars job discrimination based on, among other things, sexual orientation and sexual identity.

More locally, on the CSU campus, tolerant practices towards transgender individuals are embodied in numerous ways, from the school’s 60+ gender-neutral restrooms to its Pride Resource Center. (Due to the politically charged nature of the military ban, the PRC respectfully declined to comment.)

Unfortunately, as Trump’s recent tweets so prove, the pro-

gressive and inclusive actions of our state are not echoed in all American minds. Only time will tell if the blindsided Department of Defense will uphold his decree. Until then, supporters of the LGBTQ community will continue to protest and shout their opposition to the ban. They certainly have every right to do so.

FOOTBALL

Starting five to play a major role in the success of CSU offense

By Justin Michael @JustinTMichael

Colorado State football has potential to be one of the most explosive offenses in the Mountain West this season, but for that to be possible the Rams must determine who will be starting on the offensive line. After losing three starters from one year ago, the Rams have multiple vacancies to fill along the starting five and less than one month to do so.

During the second half of the 2016 season, CSU was one of the most dominant offenses in the country and a large part of that had to due with stellar play from the big uglies. Behind the primary starting five of Jake Bennett, Nick Callender, Zack Golditch, Paul Thurston and Fred Zerblis, the

Rams offense allowed only one sack per-game, which was eighth best in the nation.

Rarely having to deal with opposing defenses in his face, quarterback Nick Stevens thrived, ranking fifth in the country and first in the Mountain West in passer efficiency rating (171.3), helping guide the Rams to one of the most dominant offensive seasons in school history.

After averaging 35.3 points, 463 yards and just under five touchdowns per game in 2016, the Rams return the majority of skill players, including a trio of running backs and wide receivers. In the trenches CSU returns only two starters, Bennett and Golditch though.

With 60 appearances and 54 starts between the two line-

man, Bennett and Golditch are two of the most experienced players on the Rams roster, but replacing three starting offensive lineman will certainly be a tall task for offensive coordinator Will Friend.

At CSU football’s annual media day Tuesday, Friend explained that he is really comfortable with the depth that the Rams have at the skill positions, but not necessarily along the offensive line.

“We have a standard that we expect them to play up to on the offensive side of the ball,” Friend said. “The standard is we expect to be a good offense. We expect to be productive and execute. It’s good that we have some guys back, but the scary part is we lost some guys in the offensive front. We lost a lot of guys that have played a lot.”

While replacing three starting linemen will be a process for the Rams coaching staff, Friend recognizes the value of returning players like Bennett and Golditch.

According to Friend, offensive lineman are kind of like a “team within a team”, and the leader of that unit is Bennett.

“Jake (Bennett) does a great job of being that leader,” Friend said. “I think he does a great job of trying to set the tone for what the younger player should be like.”

Friend went on in detail about how Bennett is the shining example of how every player should approach practice, meetings and games. “Going into year three for him (Bennett), he knows how we want to practice and knows what we want them to know going into a practice,” Friend said.

Having a player like Bennett to help lead a group of young lineman is invaluable for the team. It is also something that he takes deep pride in both as an

individual and as someone that grew up watching the glory days of the CSU football under Sonny Lubick.

“There’s a tradition here of pretty good offensive lineman and I think to let that lack at all would be disrespectful to the guys that have come before us,” Bennett said.

In recent years, Bennett’s CSU teammates Ty Sambrailo (2015) and Weston Richburg (2014) were each selected in the second round of the NFL Draft.

In total, CSU currently has ten former players on NFL rosters.

CSU fans will have their first opportunity to see CSU’s big uglies with the team’s open house scrimmage on Saturday Aug. 5.

The Rams will open the 2017 season against Oregon State on Aug. 26.

A guide to dog-friendly businesses in Fort Collins FORT COLLINS LIFE

By Mikaela Rodenbaugh @mikarodenbaugh

Northern Colorado is an ideal place for dog owners, with plenty of natural features ideal for trekking with your furry friend, but what about going out in Fort Collins? If you’re looking for places to bring your pooch, there are many great options in the area. As an owner of a dog with separation anxiety, I can attest that these places are a lifesaver when you are going stir crazy at home but don’t want to abandon your fur baby.

Fun for pup: Wagz Pet Market and Grooming132 N College Ave Wagz Pet Market and Grooming is like a super store for dogs. Outside the store there are leash hitches if you prefer to leave your dog outside as well as bowls of water, but you are welcome to take your dog inside.

The store boasts plenty of interesting leashes and dog products such as doggie shoes, collapsing water bowls, and petchup (doggie vitamins). The front desk is stocked with treats and there are sometimes even events like the free doggie ice cream stand to support the Larimer Humane Society we stumbled upon in the

video.

Poudre Pet and Feed2601 S Lemay Ave | 622 N College Ave | 2100 W Drake Rd Poudre Pet and Feed is a local pet store with plenty of selection, interesting pets and a great loyalty membership. Dogs are

allowed inside and often the cashier at check out will offer treats for whoever you bring along.

Local dog-friendly businesses spa where you can bring your dog if they are in need of any pet-sitting, or grooming. The front of the store also carries many different pet supplies and accessories like leashes.

Fun for you: Mainline Ale House- 125 S College Ave Mainline Ale House allows dogs on the porch if you are okay to eat outside, just make sure you bring some water for your pooch if you plan on staying for long periods of time. Additional considerations are whether your dog does well with other dogs, as many people will be walking in Old Town with their dogs.

Blue Agave Grill201 S College Ave Blue Agave also allows dogs to be tied to the porch should you wish to dine with your canine in tow. While the oak plaza area of Old Town does get considerably less foot traffic, still keep in mind that your dog may interact with passersby both of the human and pupper variety.

Coopersmith’s Pub & Brewing5 Old Town Square Coopersmith’s is another popular destination for dog own-

ers looking to hitch their dog to the porch rail while they eat outside. Located in Old Town square, there are often people and dogs passing by and it can get a little crowded, so make sure your dog can handle the crowds and is well hydrated.

Fun for everyone: Fort Collins Nursery2121 E Mulberry St Fort Collins Nursery is a large garden center with plenty of interesting outdoors features.

You may bring your dog into the store and surrounding gardens making it an ideal location to pick up your petunias while your dog stops to smell all the various outside smells. There is a small Italian greyhound occasionally brought in with the employees and opportunities to see other dogs so be prepared.

The Forge Publick House255 Old Firehouse Alley The Forge allows dogs both inside and on the porch of their bar, and is a popular destination for drinkers and their dogs. Make sure your dog is okay with loud environments and socializing, and you should be set to bring

your dog along with you for a night of fun without having to leave them tied somewhere.

Bonus: you’ll have a walking buddy on your way home, so no need to worry about drinking and driving.

Prost Brewing Company321 Old Firehouse Alley Prost Brewing is also a popular location to bring dogs both inside and out. There is also a large bucket of treats available within the bar near the corner where they keep many different board games. Stop by to pick up a game and a little something for your pooch and everyone will be happy.
