Leaders in the Trump administration have minced few words in articulating how they feel about transgender troops.Military.comBy Konstantin ToropinJuly 29, 2025As a 20-year veteran of the Army sat in a classroom attending a mandatory course for soldiers getting out of the military and transitioning to civilian life, the civilian instructor made an odd request. He asked the couple of dozen people in the room to scratch out the words "pronoun, gender, diversity and inclusion" from the workbooks they had been issued.Much of the class likely thought little of the request -- a lingering effect of the Trump administration's efforts to eliminate diversity initiatives in the government -- but the soldier's mind filled with frustration and anger.The soldier is transgender and was sitting in that class because the Trump administration had made the choice to deny trans troops the ability to serve.As the soldiers around her were dutifully censoring their workbooks, she felt like they were quietly removing the change that she, and fellow trans troops like her, worked so hard to instill in the military. A soldier from her unit shot her a look that just said, "I'm sorry this is happening to you."
These countries allow trans service member; Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, the UK, the Czech Republic, Finland, Estonia, Austria, New Zealand, Australia, and Israel.
