The US Army has stopped recruiting transgender people - this is stated in a statement by the military, published on the social network X.
“The US Army will no longer accept transgender people into military service and will stop conducting or facilitating gender reassignment procedures for military personnel“, the statement said.
It is emphasized that the decision takes effect immediately.
In his inauguration speech on January 20, US President Donald Trump stated that the official policy of the United States is now to recognize only two genders: male and female.
In addition, on January 22, he canceled the US government's policy on diversity, equality and inclusion, calling it discriminatory.
According to him, the practice of inclusion can violate civil rights.
