President Donald Trump released an order Friday night banning most transgender troops from serving in the military except under ‘limited circumstances,’ following up on his calls last year to ban transgender individuals from serving.
The White House said retaining troops with a history or diagnosis of ‘gender dysphoria’ – those who may require substantial medical treatment – ‘presents considerable risk to military effectiveness and lethality.’
Trump surprised the Pentagon’s leadership in a 2017 tweet when he declared he would reverse an Obama-era plan to allow transgender individuals to serve openly. His push for the ban has been blocked by several legal challenges, and three federal courts have ruled against the ban. The Pentagon responded by allowing those serving to stay in the military, and began allowing transgender individuals to enlist beginning January 1.
Meanwhile, Holland and Paulson walked side-by-side as they left Craig’s—a celebrity hotspot in West Hollywood.
Sarah was also asked to share her thoughts about the March For Our Lives Rally.
‘It was a big day,’ she said agreeing with the fact that the gun violence conversations have already caused change.
