A few years ago, the military-transgender people in the United States may be released from the army. That all changed with Barack Obama. In 2016, the Pentagon announced that transgender people already serving in the army, will be allowed to «serve openly». At the same time was set the date (1 July 2017), when transgender people will be allowed to enter military service.
After he became President Donald trump, his administration has postponed the date of the appeal, stating that this issue requires further study. In late July of 2017, the President said on Twitter that the government «will not allow transgender people to serve in the army.»
Later, in March 2018, trump signed a Memorandum banning a certain part of transgender people to serve in the U.S. Armed forces. An exception was made for persons who «are stable in their sexual identity the last 36 months» before joining the army, for those who don’t need change , as well as for transgender people, who began to perform military service under the administration of Barack Obama.
Human rights groups sued, and a number of cases in state courts the administration of the tramp lost. In some courts the proceedings are continuing.
