Trans Individuals Officially Banned from Joining Military but Trump’s Orders Don’t End There
The article discusses recent changes announced by the U.S. Army under the Biden administration regarding transgender individuals in the military.It states that the Army will no longer allow new recruits who identify as transgender and will stop all procedures related to gender transition for current service members. This policy shift is positioned as a reaction to what the article refers to as the “woke ideology” that it claims was embraced by the previous administration. The article contrasts the current stance with the policies implemented during the Biden administration, citing an executive order that lifted Trump’s 2018 ban on transgender individuals serving in the military. The Army stressed that its new policies aim to treat all service members with dignity and respect, while the author criticizes the previous administration for promoting inclusion at the expense of military effectiveness and safety. The discussion implies a broader cultural battle regarding gender identity and military standards in the United States.
The purge of woke ideology from the military continues under President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
On Friday, the official X account of the United States Army made a series of posts stating trans people will no longer be allowed to join the military and the military will stop performing gender transition surgeries.
The #USArmy will no longer allow transgender individuals to join the military and will stop performing or facilitating procedures associated with gender transition for service members.
Stay tuned for more details.

The #USArmy will no longer allow transgender individuals to join the military and will stop performing or facilitating procedures associated with gender transition for service members,” the post reads.
The Army X account followed this with another post on further actions taken.
Effective immediately, all new accessions for individuals with a history of gender dysphoria are paused, and all unscheduled, scheduled, or planned medical procedures associated with affirming or facilitating a gender transition for Service members are paused.

The post stated, “all new accessions for individuals with a history of gender dysphoria are paused,” further saying, “all unscheduled, scheduled, or planned medical procedures associated with affirming or facilitating a gender transition for Service members are paused.”
The Army made a final post to clarify that its now policies are not meant to disrespect the people they will impact, as anyone serving our country should, “be treated with dignity and respect.”
Individuals with gender dysphoria have volunteered to serve our country and will be treated with dignity and respect.

It shows how far gone the military was under former President Joe Biden, former Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and upper brass like General Mark Milley that this even needed to be said.
Upon taking office, Biden issued an executive order reversing Trump’s 2018 ban on transgender individuals from joining the military.
Couple that with Biden’s executive order mandating “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility” and the full picture starts to form.
His was not an administration focused on comradery or merit.
If there is one aspect of the government where injecting leftist nonsense would truly make Americans feel less safe, it is the armed services.
Former President Bill Clinton‘s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy and former President Barack Obama’s subsequent repeal look tame in comparison.
Where Obama wanted gay and lesbian servicemembers to serve openly, Biden wanted mentally ill men who think they are women to join in droves.
The question still remains as to what will happen to those servicemembers still in the military.
Should they be removed?
The last of the three posts implies that is not happening.
Trump’s efforts to restore, “Merit and Lethality to America’s Armed Forces” should only focus on those principles alone.
