United States President-elect, Donald Trump, is reportedly
planning to sign an executive order that would remove all transgender members
from the country’s military.
Daily Mail reports that the development has raised concerns
within the LGBTQ+ community.
The development is coming amid moves by the US Congress to
stop first transgender lawmaker from using female restrooms and bathrooms in
her new workplace.
According to the report, state officials had stated that
transgender personnel would be discharged on medical grounds, deeming them
“unfit” to serve.
Recall that during Trump’s first administration, he
introduced a similar policy that prohibited transgender individuals from
joining the Armed Forces.
He, however, allowed those already enlisted to remain in
their roles.
President Joe Biden later overturned the military ban in his
first week as President in 2021 after Trump left office.
