DoD is implementing Trump’s EO, causing what may be the single largest layoff of trans workers in the US—my story on the EO, which was far more extreme than Trump’s previous admin (when he tried to ban trans service members by tweet): newrepublic.com/article/1908...
Trump's executive order barring transgender people from serving in the military is one element of what appears to be a wide-reaching plan to erase the idea that trans people exist. Via saccharine appeals to honor, humility, and country, the order advances the idea that trans identity is a form of dishonesty. The rhetoric is also far more extreme than past Trump administration rhetoric about trans service members.
