美國總統唐納· 川普於週一上任後不久，廢除了前總統喬· 拜登所頒布的一項規定，該規定
許跨性別人士在美國軍隊中公開服役。
該規定於2021年以行政命令的形式實施，要求五角大廈及負責管理海岸防衛隊的國土安全部
，取消性別認同作為服役的限制條件。當時，拜登的行政命令推翻了川普於2017年第一任期
內所下達的跨性別人士服役禁令。
拜登的行政命令中寫道：「美國的政策應確保所有希望服役的跨性別人士，只要符合相關標
準，就能夠公開且不受歧視地在美國軍隊中服役。」
川普在其總統任期的早期，就廢除了包括該命令在內的多項拜登行政命令。
現役跨性別軍人目前不會受到該行動的立即影響，現代軍事協會（Modern Military Associ
ation of America）通訊總監阿黛爾· 謝伯（Adele Scheiber）表示。該協會為LGBTQ軍人?
供支持與倡導。謝伯在週二的一段影片聲明中提到，川普尚未實施新的禁令，但撤銷拜登政
策的行動為新禁令的出台鋪平了道路。
「這為軍隊服役的新禁令鋪路，但截至今天，現狀尚未改變，」她說道。
至今有約9000-14000跨性別者在美軍服役，AP報導
Trump revokes order allowing transgender troops to serve in military
Soon after taking office Monday, President Donald Trump repealed a rule establis
hed by former President Joe Biden that allows transgender people to openly serve
in the U.S. military.
The rule, implemented through an executive order in 2021, required the Pentagon
and Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Coast Guard, to remove g
ender identity as a bar to service. At the time, Biden’s order reversed a ban o
n transgender service members that Trump ordered in 2017 during his first term.
“It shall be the policy of the United States to ensure that all transgender ind
ividuals who wish to serve in the United States military and can meet the approp
riate standards shall be able to do so openly and free from discrimination,” Bi
den’s executive order reads.
That order was one of dozens rescinded by Trump in the early hours of his presid
ency.
The action does not have an immediate effect for transgender troops currently se
rving, said Adele Scheiber, communications director for the Modern Military Asso
ciation of America, which advocates for LGBTQ service members. Trump has not ins
tituted a new ban, but the repeal of Biden’s policy clears the way for one, Sch
eiber said in a video statement Tuesday.
“This paves the way for a new ban on military service, but as of today nothing
has changed,” she said.
During a speech at the Turning Point Action Conference in December, Trump said h
e intended to sign an executive order to “get transgender out of the military.
”
There are an estimated 9,000 to 14,000 transgender individuals serving in the ar
med forces, The Associated Press reported.
