MIAMI - President of the United States (US) Donald Trump, on Monday, January 27 stated that he had signed an executive order banning the existence of transgender ideology in the US military. This move is considered a major blow to the LGBTQ community, especially for transgender citizens who want to serve in US armed forces.

Donald Trump emphasized that the transgender ban in the US military aims to create a more efficient and free military force from gender radicalism. He criticized the presence of transgender troops as a burden that disrupted the readiness and solidarity of the military.

The transgender ban in the US military is restoring a policy previously implemented during the first Donald Trump administration.

The number of transgender troops in the US military is estimated at around 15,000 out of a total of two million uniformed personnel. However, the US military transgender ban is feared to exacerbate the recruitment challenges that the country has faced.

The transgender ban policy in the US military is considered a major setback of the progressive measures implemented during the era of Barack Obama's administration, which opened the door for transgender forces to serve openly from 2016.

Donald Trump removed the policy during his first term of office, but was reinstated by President Joe Biden in 2021. Donald Trump Signs Transgender Ban Executive Orders in the US Military
