The Pentagon will soon receive guidance on how the White House wants to roll out its military transgender ban, according to a report Wednesday.
The guidance from the Trump administration is expected to give Defense Secretary Jim Mattis discretion to consider a service member's ability to deploy when deciding whether to force them out of the country's armed forces, according to the Wall Street Journal.
A two-and-a-half page memo obtained by the Journal also directs the Pentagon to deny admittance to transgender applicants and to cease spending on related medical treatments. Additionally, it gives Mattis six months to implement the new policy.
