President-elect Donald J. Trump is preparing to reverse the “woke” transformation of the military that has taken place under the Biden regime, reportedly including giving transgenders the boot on his “first day in office,” according to a bombshell report.
On Sunday, The Times reported that the incoming president is “planning an executive order that would lead to the removal of all transgender members of the US military,” citing the usual unnamed sources that are a hallmark of mainstream media stories.
The UK-based outlet claims that Trump plans to issue an executive order that transgender service members be “medically discharged” as soon as he returns to the White House on January 20, 2025.

There are currently up to 15,000 active-duty service members who could be discharged for being unfit to serve.
“These people will be forced out at a time when the military can’t recruit enough people,” the outlet quotes a source “familiar with Trump’s plans” in its report. “Only the Marine Corps is hitting its numbers for recruitment and some people who will be affected are in very senior positions.”
The report comes at a time when Pete Hegseth, Trump’s Defense Secretary nominee, is under intense attack by Democrats and the media who are looking to undermine the soon-to-be 47th president before he even takes office by torpedoing his picks. First, they took out attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz and are now zeroing in on Hegseth and DNI nominee Tulsi Gabbard.
Hegseth was critical of transgenders in the military in a recent podcast interview.

The move would remove about 15,000 transgender active service members.

“Should a trans ban be implemented from day one of the Trump administration it would undermine the readiness of the military and create an even greater recruitment and retention crisis, not to mention signaling vulnerability to America’s adversaries,” the Times quotes Rachel Branaman, of the Modern Military Association of America, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group for military members and vets.
“Abruptly discharging 15,000-plus service members, especially given that the military’s recruiting targets fell short by 41,000 recruits last year, adds administrative burdens to warfighting units, harms unit cohesion, and aggravates critical skill gaps,” Branaman said. “There would be a significant financial cost, as well as a loss of experience and leadership that will take possibly 20 years and billions of dollars to replace.”
The incoming administration has not confirmed the report which will be fodder for the outrage machine now that the transgender issue is back at the forefront since House Republicans banned men from using the women’s restrooms after female Republicans balked at having their privacy violated by a newly elected Democrat cross-dresser.
The report should be taken with a grain of salt considering the smear campaign against Hegseth, at least until it is confirmed by sources willing to put their names on record.
