The Biden administration intends within days to reverse the Pentagon policy former President Donald Trump ordered that limits the service and treatment of transgender troops, according to an official with Biden’s transition team. Reuters and The Wall Street Journal report that the reversal could happen as soon as Monday. Trump announced the ban on service by transgender troops in 2017, a move that caught military officials by surprise. The Trump policy effectively bans transgender people from joining the military and limits their treatment. Major medical and psychological associations say there is no scientific reason for banning transgender troops from serving.
