Trump issues order to ban most transgender troops from serving in military. The White House and Pentagon on Friday unveiled a new policy on transgender troops that will severely restrict their place in the military. Pentagon officials had a deadline of Friday to put in place the new policy after months of consideration and court challenges. President Trump followed through late Friday and issued orders to ban transgender troops in all but extremely limited cases. "The accession or retention of individuals with a history or diagnosis of gender dysphoria—those who may require substantial medical treatment, including through medical drugs or surgery—presents considerable risk to military effectiveness and lethality," the White House said in a statement.

Biden overturns Trump ban against transgender troops in one of his first directives to the Pentagon. President Joe Biden on Monday reversed former President Donald Trump's policy that aimed to ban transgender troops from military service. "Allowing all qualified Americans to serve their country in uniform is better for the military and better for the country because an inclusive force is a more effective force," the White House stated. "Simply put, it’s the right thing to do and is in our national interest." Ref. USAToday.
