Should transgender individuals serve in the armed forces? <sup>1</sup>

Transgender individuals have systematically been discriminated against in military service, and although they have been included since 2016, a new White House executive order aims to exclude them again. In this paper, I analyse the arguments present in this executive order and argue that there are no good reasons to exclude transgender individuals from the military.

Abstract

Transgender individuals have systematically been discriminated against in military service, and although they have been included since 2016, a new White House executive order aims to exclude them again. In this paper, I analyse the arguments present in this executive order and argue that there are no good reasons to exclude transgender individuals from the military.
