US President Joe Biden is making good of one of his campaign promises: he has now overturned a controversial Donald Trump ban on transgender people serving in the US military. Biden’s new executive order prohibits any service member from being forced out due to the basis of their gender identity, a u-turn after Donald Trump had forbidden on 2017 transgender soldiers from being recruited. Biden’s move is part of his administration’s attempts to support underserved communities.
