There are believed to be about 15,000 active service personnel who are transgender. They would be medically discharged, which would determine that they were unfit to serve. <\/p>\n<p>It would also lead to a ban on trans people joining the military and would come at a time when almost all branches of the American armed forces are failing to meet recruitment targets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/topic\/donald-trump\" class=\"link__RespLink-sc-1ocvixa-0 csWvlP\">Trump<\/a>, 78, has railed against \u201cwoke\u201d practices in the military, saying that some high-ranking officers are often more interested in diversity, equity and inclusion<span class=\"paywall-EAB47CFD\"> than planning to fight.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"\">\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">The ban is expected to be wider ranging than a similar order made during his first term in office, when Trump prevented transgender people joining the armed forces, but allowed those already serving to keep their jobs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/topic\/joe-biden\" class=\"link__RespLink-sc-1ocvixa-0 csWvlP\">President Biden<\/a> rescinded the order, but this time even those with decades of service will be removed from their posts, according to several sources.<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">\u201cThese people will be forced out at a time when the military can\u2019t recruit enough people,\u201d a source familiar with Trump\u2019s plans said. \u201cOnly the Marine Corps is hitting its numbers for recruitment and some people who will be affected are in very senior positions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">According to the Pentagon, privacy policies make it difficult to measure the number of active duty trans people, but about 2,200 service members had been diagnosed with gender dysphoria in 2021, when Trump\u2019s first ban was lifted. There are about 1.3 million active duty personnel in the military.<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">There are believed to be thousands of other personnel who identify as transgender.<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">Military charities that fought the trans ban during Trump\u2019s first term are aware of his plans for a similar move by the incoming administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">\u201cShould a trans ban be implemented from day one of the Trump administration it would undermine the readiness of the military and create an even greater recruitment and retention crisis, not to mention signalling vulnerability to America\u2019s adversaries,\u201d said Rachel Branaman, executive director of Modern Military Association of America, which campaigns on behalf of LGBTQ+ military personnel and veterans.<\/p>\n<div id=\"5.8\">\n<div id=\"a361b1b9-7af8-468e-922a-fc6365f6c78d\">\n<div class=\"tc-view__TcView-nuazoi-0 responsive__PrimaryImg-sc-4v1r4q-3 hpWIYt\">\n<div class=\"tc-view__TcView-nuazoi-0 fPjBcr\">\n<div style=\"background-color:#efefef\" class=\"tc-view__TcView-nuazoi-0 fPjBcr\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:66.66%;position:relative;overflow:hidden\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Pete Hegseth, Trump\u2019s nominee for defence secretary, has railed against the military\u2019s \u201cweak\u2019 leadership\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/imageserver\/image\/%2Fmethode%2Ftimes%2Fprod%2Fweb%2Fbin%2Ff3e93148-e450-4e94-ab42-b06a4465621b.jpg?crop=5000%2C3333%2C0%2C0\" class=\"responsive-sc-1nnon4d-0 bAbKns\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tc-view__TcView-nuazoi-0 fPjBcr\">\n<div class=\"tc-view__TcView-nuazoi-0 responsive__InsetCaptionStyle-sc-1io40fc-2 fkMBIX\">\n<div class=\"tc-view__TcView-nuazoi-0 fPjBcr\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:10px\" class=\"tc-view__TcView-nuazoi-0 fPjBcr\">\n<p>Pete Hegseth, Trump\u2019s nominee for defence secretary, has railed against the military\u2019s \u201cweak\u2019 leadership<\/p>\n<p>NATHAN HOWARD\/REUTERS<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">\u201cAbruptly discharging 15,000-plus service members, especially given that the military\u2019s recruiting targets fell short by 41,000 recruits last year, adds administrative burdens to war fighting units, harms unit cohesion, and aggravates critical skill gaps,\u201d she said. \u201cThere would be a significant financial cost, as well as a loss of experience and leadership that will take possibly 20 years and billions of dollars to replace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">Trump has nominated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/world\/us-world\/article\/trumps-pick-for-defence-secretary-in-doubt-after-sex-allegations-chgjtrx5f\" class=\"link__RespLink-sc-1ocvixa-0 csWvlP\">Pete Hegseth<\/a>, 44, as his defence secretary. The Fox News host and former major in the US National Guard has publicly railed against \u201cweak\u201d and \u201ceffeminate\u201d leadership in the military and argued in a recent book that \u201cthe next commander in chief will need to clean house\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">He has also said that medical care for transgender personnel is an extravagance the Pentagon cannot afford, adding that focusing on the issues that affect only a small number of people in the military is an example of \u201ctrans lunacy\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">Trans people already serving in the military say that as well as causing them significant personal hardship, a new ban would be disastrous for the armed forces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">\u201cThere are very few members of my career field with this experience, and in the event of a large-scale contingency, it would be difficult to replace the level of experience that I bring to the table,\u201d said a serving US Air Force non-commissioned officer, who preferred not to give their name.<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">Paulo Batista, a transgender analyst in the US navy, said that a ban would not only put a premature end to his career, it would also cause upheaval across the forces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">\u201cI have four years left on my contract,\u201d he said. \u201cBut you take 15,000 of us out \u2014 there\u2019s more but that\u2019s the number that is always mentioned \u2014 that\u2019s 15,000 leadership positions, every one of us play a vital role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">\u201cThere are junior enlisted personnel to high-end officers. You pull one of us out, that means others have to cover. These jobs could take months or even years to fill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">Batista dismissed another argument made by those opposed to trans people serving in the military: that the Pentagon had to cover spiralling costs of gender dysphoria treatment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">\u201cThere is no money being spent, it\u2019s just continued care,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople enlisting are just slightly hormone deficient, but the bigger picture is how many other people are going to be affected. Kicking out the 15,000 would affect the whole fleet, the whole battalion. It\u2019s everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"last-paragraph\" class=\"responsive__Paragraph-sc-1pktst5-0 gaEeqC\">Trump\u2019s spokesmen were contacted, but declined to comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/world\/us-world\/article\/donald-trump-transgender-troops-us-military-52xf5cdlc\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump is planning an executive order that would lead to the removal of all transgender members of the US military, defence sources say.
