Military Shakeup: Trump’s First-Day Plans to Remove Transgender Service Members
Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign has outlined several policy goals related to transgender service members in the military.
Notably, he has expressed support for reinstating a ban on transgender individuals serving in the military, a policy he first enacted during his previous term but which was rescinded by President Biden.
Trump’s stance includes prohibiting individuals who have undergone gender-affirming surgery or received a diagnosis of gender dysphoria from joining the military.
This proposed policy is part of a broader agenda that focuses on reversing what his campaign terms “woke” policies, which also extend to issues in education and public life.
Trump’s platform calls for actions that would limit transgender participation in women’s sports, restrict gender-affirming care for minors, and challenge federal agencies promoting LGBTQ+ rights.
