President Trump will remove transgender servicemembers from the military by executive order on day one of his presidency.
“The ban is expected to be wider ranging than a similar order made during his first term in office, when Trump prevented transgender people joining the armed forces, but allowed those already serving to keep their jobs. President Biden rescinded the order, but this time even those with decades of service will be removed from their posts, according to several sources,” The Times reported.
The Times reported:
Donald Trump is planning an executive order that would lead to the removal of all transgender members of the US military, defence sources say.
The order could come on his first day back in the White House, January 20. There are believed to be about 15,000 active service personnel who are transgender. They would be medically discharged, which would determine that they were unfit to serve.
It would also lead to a ban on trans people joining the military and would come at a time when almost all branches of the American armed forces are failing to meet recruitment targets.
President Trump banned most transgender persons from the military during his first term.
In March 2018, the Trump White House released a memo filed in the US District Court in Seattle that states, “persons with a history or diagnosis of gender dysphoria – including individuals who the policies state may require substantial medical treatment, including medications and surgery – are disqualified from military service except under limited circumstances.”
Joe Biden reversed Trump’s transgender ban.
Joe Biden and the Marxist left turned the US military into a woke social experiment as China promotes masculinity to their young males.
Transgender people have used their military enrollment as a way to have their sex reassignment surgeries and expensive medication paid for. The military should not be funding transgender surgeries; the military should be used to protect our nation from our enemies.
Stephanie Miller, the previous director of military accession policy, told reporters in 2021 “the number of service members who self-identify as transgender could range from 1,000 to 8,000, including those who may not seek treatment. Other studies have said the total could be as high as 14,700.” AP reported.
