Is there any Army or DOD policy that prohibits biological male soldiers from wearing a bra while in uniform (IPFU, OCP)?

Hello, I'm a member of the Wisconsin Army National Guard and am currently in the middle of transitioning to a female and was wondering if there is any sort of policy that prohibits a biological male soldier from wearing a bra while in uniform, I have already dyed my hair a natural blonde color which is authorized by the new AR 670-1 but am looking to do more to ease my gender dysphoria while in uniform, by my understanding there is no policy prohibiting a biological male soldier from wearing a bra whilst in uniform but am double checking here.

I don’t know why it would; since it’s not worn on the outside of the uniform who would know?

I'm with MSG Case on this one. If someone's looking long enough to realize there's a bra under your t-shirt, one has to wonder what the objective is.

Good luck with your transition, and the advice here is mostly good, with the exception of Evans (who I blocked a long time ago because he's an ass). Don't hesitate to block the Neanderthals, don't let them get to you. We've had numerous great service members who have made the transition, including an infantry NCO with a CIB who became a chief warrant officer and AH-64 pilot. She was a great asset, but eventually left RP due to the assholes.

If you receive any friction from your chain of command, another avenue to explore would be medical/behavioral health. As a provider, if I had a patient in your situation I would be willing to educate your command and/or write you a profile stating it is medically necessary during your transition. These are just a couple of outside-the-box examples your med/BH providers might help you with.

What in hell has happened to our military? All the Chinese will have to do is call y’all some names and it’s over. May GOD have mercy on your souls.
