360 summary
  • Transgender Americans have faced changing policies on military service, with Democratic administrations supporting their open service while Trump sought to keep them out of the ranks.
  • The Pentagon began accepting transgender troops in 2016 after a yearlong study and a Rand Corp. report found no adverse impact on unit cohesion, operational effectiveness, or readiness.
  • Former President Joe Biden overturned Trump's ban on transgender service during his first week in office, emphasizing that all qualified Americans should be able to serve in the military.
