United States President-elect, Donald Trump, is reportedly planning to sign an executive order that would remove all transgender members from the country’s military.

 

Daily Mail reports that the development has raised concerns within the LGBTQ+ community.

 

The development is coming amid moves by the US Congress to stop first transgender lawmaker from using female restrooms and bathrooms in her new workplace.

 

According to the report, state officials had stated that transgender personnel would be discharged on medical grounds, deeming them “unfit” to serve.

 

Recall that during Trump’s first administration, he introduced a similar policy that prohibited transgender individuals from joining the Armed Forces.

 

He, however, allowed those already enlisted to remain in their roles.

 

President Joe Biden later overturned the military ban in his first week as President in 2021 after Trump left office.
