Hegseth moves to implement Trump’s ban on transgender troops

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered a halt to transgender procedures for military members, according to a memorandum made public on Feb. 10.
Hegseth's memo pauses 'all unscheduled, scheduled, or planned medical procedures associated with affirming or facilitating a gender transition for service members.'
The memo implements President Donald Trump’s executive order that restricted openly transgender people from serving in the military.
The order states that if a person expresses a gender identity that diverges from his or her sex, that person cannot satisfy the military’s standards.
