President Donald Trump has revoked a Biden-era order allowing transgender people to serve in the military. The new president signed an order revoking former President Joe Biden's order known as Enabling All Qualified Americans To Serve Their Country in Uniform, which was signed in 2021.
During his campaign, Trump promised to reinstate the ban on transgender troops he imposed during his first term. In his inauguration speech, he stated his intention to formally recognize only two genders: male and female. There are an estimated 9,000 to 14,000 transgender service members affected by this decision.
