Trump gives the Pentagon six months to kick out transgender service people from the US military
Just one month after US President Donald
Trump announced a ban on transgender people serving in the military via
his Twitter page, he has issued a memo on how the decision will be
carried out.
In the two-and-a-half-page memo, it stated
that Defense Secretary Jim Mattis must consider a service member's
'deployability' when deciding whether to eject them from the military.
Which means that if they are unable to
serve in a war zone, take part in training or serve on a ship for
months, they will be kicked out of the military, adding that being
transgender is a barrier to all of these.
The policy, which gives the Pentagon six months to kick out transgender
service members and places a ban on new transgender hires into the
military, has met resistance from transgender representatives.
