Transgender recruits will be allowed to enlist in the military beginning Jan. 1, the Pentagon said Monday, as President Donald Trump's ordered ban suffered more legal setbacks.
The new policy reflects the difficult hurdles the federal government would have to cross to enforce Trump's demand earlier this year to bar transgender individuals from the military.
[...] Potential transgender recruits will have to overcome a lengthy and strict set of physical, medical and mental conditions that make it possible, though difficult, for them to join the armed services.
Maj. David Eastburn, a Pentagon spokesman, says the enlistment of transgender recruits will start Jan. 1 and go on amid the legal battles.

For all of those that are concerned about transgenders entering or re-entering the U.S. military, you have nothing to worry about. We're doing EXTREME VETTING. And we're fighting very hard in the courts. Very hard. Believe me, our military is going to be PERFECTO. MAGA! 🇺🇸
