Ruthless Trump govt order bans transgender service members from army as not ‘honorable’ | EUROtoday
Donald Trump on Monday signed an govt order banning transgender folks from serving within the army.
In a surprisingly savage order Trump claimed that “the Armed Forces have been afflicted with radical gender ideology,” and baselessly claimed that trans individuals are each medically and morally unfit to serve.
“Beyond the hormonal and surgical medical interventions involved, adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual’s sex conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life,” his order reads.
LGBT+ advocacy teams Lambda Legal and Human Rights Campaign mentioned in a press release toThe Independent they plan to sue over the order.
“We have been here before and seven years ago were able to successfully block the earlier administration’s effort to prevent patriotic, talented Americans from serving their country,” Lambda Legal Counsel Sasha Buchert mentioned. “Not only is such a move cruel, it compromises the safety and security of our country and is particularly dangerous and wrong. As we promised then, so do we now: we will sue.”
