Fox News: Support for openly transgender service members drops as Trump admin moves to ban trans troops
Support for openly transgender individuals serving in the U.S. military has dropped to 58%, down from 66% in 2021 and 71% in 2019, according to a Gallup poll. The decline is largely attributed to decreased backing from Republicans and Independents, while Democratic support remains steady at 84%.
President Trump has moved to reinstate a ban on transgender troops, which he first imposed during his initial term. He has signed executive orders that emphasize military readiness and restrict individuals with a history of gender dysphoria from joining the military, leading to legal challenges from current transgender service members.
