Trump Signs Order Banning Transgender People from Serving in Military
On Monday, former U.S. President Donald Trump signed four executive orders related to the military, one of which significantly impacts transgender individuals.
The order, titled “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness,” bans transgender people from openly serving or enlisting in the armed forces.
This policy reverses a decision made by President Joe Biden, which allowed transgender people to join the military and receive medical coverage for transition-related care.
Trump’s new directive aims to restore a policy from his first term, emphasizing the importance of military readiness and effectiveness.
