Trump wants to exclude transgender servicemen from the army

Donald Trump plans to issue a decree that will lead to the dismissal of all transgender servicemen in the ranks of the armed forces. Among the current military personnel, there are about 15 thousand transgender people who are dismissed for being deemed unfit for service according to medical indications.

Transgender individuals gained the right to serve in the U.S. armed forces on June 30, 2016. At the time, President Barack Obama signed the corresponding decree.
