The list of certain conditions can affect tens of thousands of people, depending on how to interpret it, WP notes. It lists “which require significant medical or medical treatment of bipolar and related disorders, eating disorders, suicidality and previous psychiatric hospitalization.”
The decree has a call to the Pentagon to adopt an updated policy on medical standards required for military service. He also aims at transgender people in his personal plan, accusing them of living in a conflict “with a dedication of a soldier to a honest, truthful and disciplined lifestyle, even in personal life.”
“The statement of a man that he is a woman and his demand, that others respect this lie, do not agree with the humility and dedication required by the serviceman,” the document added.
The decree is based on a previous directive issued a few hours after Trump’s inauguration on January 20, which abolished the Baiden Administration’s event in 2021, which allowed transgender servicemen to serve openly, which canceled the earlier prohibition imposed in the first term of Trump’s authority. The new decree does not prohibit transgender people to serve immediately, but it orders the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Security, which oversees the coastal security, review medical standards and submit a report to the President describing the steps on compliance with the directive.
Although the Ministry of Defense does not monitor the number of transgender employees in the Armed Forces, the last change in long -term policy can affect thousands of servicemen. It is also one of the aspects of the far -reaching Trump administration to collapse initiative initiatives throughout the government, says WP.
Trump signed a new decree on transgender people, along with others who call for the restoration of servicemen released under Biden administration for refusing vaccination against coronavirus; elimination of offices on diversity, equality and inclusivity in the Ministry of Defense; and the creation of the Iron Dome for America, Trump’s vision of expanded missile defense.
Recently approved Defense Minister Pete Hegset, a former soldier of the National Guard, who said “transgender in the army causes complications and differences”, promised in his first speech to journalists in Pentagon on Monday, which he would provide priorities of Trump. protect the southern border.
Proponents of transgender people have stated that there can be up to 15,000 people in the US Army. The 2016 Ministry of Defense survey showed that about 9,000 people were identified as such. Both figures are less than 1 percent of 2 million people serving.
