An executive order to expel transgender personnel from the US Army is about to be signed by Donald Trump.

U.S. President-elect, Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to sign an executive order that would remove all transgender members from the US military, a move that has intensified concerns within the LGBTQ+ community.

According to a report in The Sunday Times, officials have stated that transgender personnel would be discharged on medical grounds, deeming them “unfit” to serve.

However, Trump’s pick for press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, dismissed the allegations, describing them as speculative and unfounded.
