A White House memo has outlined some of the details on President Trump’s ban on transgender people serving in the U.S. military. The memo instructs the Pentagon to refuse to admit transgender people to the military and to stop paying for the medical treatments for transgender people who are currently serving in the military. The memo gives the Pentagon six months to implement the ban, which was first announced on Twitter by President Trump in late July, sparking widespread outrage. Five transgender military members have sued Trump over the ban. Thousands of transgender people are currently serving in the U.S. military.
