- The Trump trans soldier exclusion took effect with the Directive-type Memorandum-19-004 signed by David L. Norquist of the United States Department of Defense. The DTM banned most transgender individuals from serving or enlisting in the United States Armed Forces and applied to all organizational entities in the Department of Defense and the United States Coast Guard. The memorandum banned new applicants who have any history of medical transition treatment. Applicants with a history of gender dysphoria were presumptively disqualified unless they have been deemed "stable" after 36 months and willing to detransition to their assigned sex. The DTM took effect on April 12, 2019. Originally scheduled to expire on March 12, 2020, it was extended until September 12, 2020. Before it expired, it was replaced by a 2020 version of DoD Instruction 1300.28, “Military Service by Transgender Persons and Persons with Gender Dysphoria", which took effect on September 4, 2020. After the 2020 United States presidential election, Joe Biden became the 46th President of the United States. One of his first executive orders expected after being sworn in as United States President on January 20, 2021, was the repeal of Presidential Memorandum on Military Service by Transgender Individuals which was expected to happen on January 24, 2021. On January 25, 2021, Biden signed an executive order which required the U.S. Department of Defense to reverse the transgender military ban. (en)
