US President Donald Trump has been taking one rapid decision after another since coming to power. Now President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday, directing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to revise the Pentagon's policy on transgender soldiers, which is likely to ban their recruitment in the future.
Also, after this order, those soldiers who were fired from their jobs after refusing to get vaccinated during the Corona epidemic will also be reinstated.

He also ordered the reinstatement of troops who were punished for refusing COVID-19 vaccines, outlined new rollbacks in diversity programs and provided for the deployment of a space-based missile defense shield for the US just after Hegseth began his first day on the job.
How will it be implemented?
The transgender ban was widely expected; the order Trump signed largely sets future bans in motion, but Hegseth has been directed to explain how it would be implemented into policy.
Service by soldiers who identify as a gender other than their biological sex 'conflicts with a soldier's commitment to an honorable, honest, and disciplined lifestyle, even in his or her private life, and is detrimental to military preparedness.
What is the order regarding transgenders?
Trump said in his order that service by troops who identify as a gender other than their biological sex "conflicts with a soldier's commitment to an honorable, honest, and disciplined lifestyle, even in his or her private life, and is detrimental to military readiness."
- A revised policy is needed to address this issue.
- Trump had also tried to ban transgender troops during his first term but could not do so due to legal proceedings.
- Later, Joe Biden reversed this decision after assuming power.
- Lawyers for transgender troops who challenged the ban in courts during Trump’s first term have already vowed to fight the new ban.
