President Trump is expected to sign an executive order on Monday restricting transgender individuals from serving in the military. The order directs Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to update medical standards and take action to 'end the use of invented and identification-based pronouns' within the Department of Defense. It also restricts sleeping, changing, and bathing facilities by biological sex. The order revokes a previous executive order by President Biden that allowed for 'gender identity' accommodation in the military.
President Donald Trump is expected to sign a new executive order restricting transgender troops from serving in the military on Monday. The new order requires Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to update medical standards to ensure they 'prioritize readiness and lethality' and take action to 'end the use of invented and identification-based pronouns' within DOD, per a White House document reviewed by Fox News Digital.
day-one order banning DEI policies across the federal government has already sidelined 395 bureaucrats, Fox News Digital reported. An order requiring the federal government to only recognize two genders has prohibited the use of taxpayer money for 'transgender services' following reports that some inmates were receiving transgender care funded by the government. Medicaid, in some states, currently covers such treatments.
The order does not issue a nationwide mandate on which bathrooms transgender people can use or which sports competitions they can participate in, though many states have passed laws in those areas.
