Summary
Donald Trump plans to ban transgender individuals from military service shortly after his inauguration, reversing President Biden’s 2021 policy and expelling about 15,000 serving trans troops.
Critics, including advocacy groups and military experts, warn this move will exacerbate recruitment and retention challenges, harm unit cohesion, and create skill gaps amid existing shortfalls.
The order aligns with Trump’s broader anti-trans agenda, which includes banning gender-affirming care and restricting trans rights nationwide.
Legal challenges are anticipated as the military faces administrative and operational disruptions.
I feel like it’s not fair to have a vendetta against all Transpeople for that.
I mean Elon said “The Woke Mind Virus took [her] from me! {She’s] my [daughter] damn it!”
and I’m like “Are you sure it was the Woke Mob? Are you sure it wasn’t… you neglected and abused her, so she hates you?”
