Transgender Military Ban First Steps Have Been By Donald Trump, The White House








On Wednesday, August 23, 2017, the White House sent a brief to the Pentagon which is reported by the Wall Street Journal to include details about initiating a ban against transgender people in the military.

Almost a month ago Donald Trump tweeted he would put a ban on transgender servants in the United States military.










If this new policy is implemented, U.S. Defense Secretary, James Mattis, will have to decide if transgender soldiers are deployed or removed from the military. If Mattis decides to remove transgender soliders, this means thousands of individuals and families will lose military benefits which includes income and health care.

A 2016 Rand Corporation study revealed that there are about 1,700 open transgender people serving in the U.S. military.

Bipartisan criticisms included Arizona Republican Senator, John McCain, stated:

"There is no reason to force service members who are able to fight, train, and deploy to leave the military...regardless of their gender identity."
