Pentagon To Activate Transgender Military Ban After Judge Removes Block

A federal judge removed a bar on President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender individuals serving in the military Thursday as litigation in the case moves forward.
U.S. District Judge George Russell ruled Thursday that an injunction should not stand, reversing his earlier decision, CNN reported. A final decision on the case, however, has not been reached.
Persons diagnosed with gender dysphoria who have undergone hormone therapy or gender reassignment surgery cannot enlist in the military under the ban, CBS News reported. Those who have been diagnosed but have not gone through treatments are still eligible, and transgender personnel currently serving will not be barred from continuing to serve.

This is an important "step back".
Next step:
Remove women from ALL combat positions.
