"Gaetz's Question on Gender Identity Labels Leaves Air Force General Stumped"
Rep. Matt Gaetz questioned the head of the Air Force Academy, Lt. Gen. Richard M. Clark, about gender identity terms listed in eligibility guidelines for a fellowship program. Clark was unable to define terms like "agender" and "demigender," leading Gaetz to criticize the program for promoting terms that couldn't be defined and excluding cisgender men. The fellowship, called the Brooke Owens fellowship, is open to women and gender-minority students in aerospace. Clark clarified that it is not an Air Force Academy program but an opportunity for developing future warfighters.
