US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he would not allow transgender people to serve in the US military in any capacity.
“Having consulted with my generals and military experts, please note that the United States government will not allow ... transgender people to serve in the US armed forces in any capacity,” Trump wrote in a microblog.
Ashton Carter, who led the US military during the Obama administration, strongly criticized Trump’s statement.
“Selecting service members based on criteria other than military qualifications is a social policy that has no place in our military,” Carter was quoted as saying in a statement.Voice of America". It also said there were already transgender members of the military who served “effectively and honorably.”
In the 2016 year, after the abolition of the “don't ask - don't say” rule, which allowed members of sexual minorities to serve in the army, provided they concealed their sexual orientation, the Obama administration took a new step, by allowing transgender people openly serve in the armed forces.
