Transgender troops no longer barred from service as Biden repeals policy in move to boost inclusiveness
President’s latest repeal of a Trump order draws praise from Democrats and LGTBQ activists, but criticism from some conservatives.
Transgender people are no longer barred from serving in the military after President Joe Biden repealed former President Donald Trump’s partial ban on transgender troops Monday.
“America is stronger, at home and around the world, when it is inclusive. The military is no exception,” Biden’s order says. “Allowing all qualified Americans to serve their country in uniform is better for the military and better for the country because an inclusive force is a more effective force.”
