President Trump on Friday moved to ban most transgender people from serving in the military.
Trump issued a memo Friday on policies determined by Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, stating that transgender people are "disqualified from military service except under limited circumstances."
"Transgender persons with a history or diagnosis of gender dysphoria -- individuals who the policies state may require substantial medical treatment, including medications and surgery -- are disqualified from military service except under certain limited circumstances," the memo reads.
Trump first called for a ban on transgender troops in a series of tweets last summer, and followed up in August by issuing a memo banning transgender people from enlisting.
The ban has since been battled over in court, with Mattis saying earlier this year that he would give Trump a final recommendation. It was expected that he would recommend Trump allow transgender troops to remain in the military.
