Executive Order Signed by Trump Prohibits Transgender Individuals from Serving in Military


President Donald Trump signed four executive orders on Monday related to the military. One of the orders prohibits transgender people from enlisting and serving openly in the armed services. This policy reinstates a rule from Trump’s first term and reverses an order by President Joe Biden allowing trans individuals to enlist and receive transition-related medical care. The order mandates updating military medical standards, ending pronoun usage inconsistent with individuals’ biological sex, and prohibiting certain facilities’ access for transgender individuals. This policy will not immediately remove transgender service members, but its implementation timeline is unclear. The order cites concerns about individuals’ readiness and medical requirements during transition surgeries.

In addition to the transgender military ban, another executive order eliminates diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives within the military, disbanding relevant offices and reviewing service academies’ curricula for alignment with this policy. These actions follow Trump’s initial days in his second term, during which he issued executive orders recognizing only two sexes and ending DEI programs across federal agencies. The Department of Defense, under these new orders, will no longer conduct DEI programs, and those who do not comply face termination. Repealing transgender rights and restricting diversity initiatives have been primary objectives for Trump since the start of his second term. The State Department also paused passport applications requesting sex-marker changes. Overall, these executive orders reflect Trump’s renewed focus on enforcing his conservative policies within the military and federal government.
