WASHINGTON — President Trump is expected to sign two executive orders Monday prohibiting transgender service members and eliminating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs from the military, The Post has learned.
Trump had signed an order on his first day in office revoking the Biden administration’s 2021 directive that allowed trans people to serve openly in the military, but the incoming EOs will go further.
They lay out military standards on pronouns and gender identity and directly prohibit thousands of transgender service members from the military, citing issues with mental and physical readiness.
The Department of Defense is directed to make and implement the policy after Trump signs the order.
“Unit cohesion requires high levels of integrity and stability among service members,” a White House document previewing the order on transgender soldiers reads.
