The Pentagon has allowed transgender people to serve in the army

On Saturday 16 September, the Pentagon issued new amendments to the bill on the service of transgender people in the army.

We will remind, in August, President Donald trump, issued a decree, according to which transgender people are forbidden to serve in the armed forces. Although he was forbidden to recruit the army of transgender recruits, it gave the Minister of defense of Jim Mattis the opportunity to decide what to do with those who have served.

And now the new bill ensures that these people will not be excluded from the armed forces.
According to the statement Jim Mattis, transgender persons can continue to carry the service, and to obtain the necessary medical services.

Transgender people who currently serve in the armed forces, will remain in the army, and then, within a few months, to re-apply for admission to the ranks of the military.
A new bill that would block the President from Donald trump to remove from the military service of transgender individuals, was supported by Republican Senator John McCain.

In his statement, McCain said that the armed forces shall be too few volunteers. Therefore, you should encourage everyone who expresses such a desire, and meets military standards, writes the Hill.
