Trump Set To Downsize transgender US Soldiers As The Cost Of Their Health Services Affects The Government .
Before
becoming Trump’s running mate, Vice President Mike Pence was perhaps
best known for his opposition to LGBT rights as governor of Indiana. He
was embroiled in a national controversy after signing the “Religious Freedom Restoration Act”
in March 2015. According to Pence, the law prohibited any government
entity from “substantially burdening” someone’s right to exercise his or
her religion. But critics accused Pence of legalizing discrimination
against LGBT individuals, something he denied. But after tremendous
pushback, Pence signed additional legislation the following month to clarify that the bill prohibits discrimination.
Pence’s views on the LGBT community appear to have changed little since becoming vice president. On Tuesday, Foreign Press reported
that Pence and his staff have been quietly working to undo the Defense
Department’s year-old policy of covering medical expenses for procedures
for transitioning service members.
Following the trend in the governance policy of the world famous president, Donald Trump, He recently announces the decision of his government to cut out of the said campaign promises because it will not help the country, America. He promised to protect the transgender, religious and other social people in the US before He was elected.
President
Trump announced on Wednesday morning that the U.S. military would not
“accent or allow” any transgender service members.
In
a series of tweets, the commander in chief argued that too much is at
stake in the military’s current operations for it to be “burdened” by
the medical costs of transgender people or the “disruption” he says
transgender service members would cause.
