Trump admin may label transgenders as ‘unfit’ to serve in US Military; 15,000 ‘very senior positions’ to be vacated

Live Mint  

Around 15000 transgenders, some of whom are in “very senior positions”, would be driven out of their posts in the US Military if President-elect Donald Trump signs an executive order, which he is very likely to do, a report revealed on Monday. Two months into his first term in 2017, president Trump reversed Obama-era federal protections for transgender students, which required public schools to allow them to use bathrooms corresponding to their gender identities. ‘Worst president on LGBTQ issues…’ In 2019, the Donald Trump administration proposed a rule by the Department of Health and Human Services that would allow faith-based foster care and adoption agencies to continue receiving federal funding while also permitting them to exclude LGBTQ+ parents. In response to these actions, Alphonso David, president of the Human Rights Campaign, called Trump “the worst president on LGBTQ issues ever,” reported Independent.
