The Presidential Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security Regarding Military Service by Transgender Individuals is the 43rd presidential memorandum signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on March 23, 2018.[1]
The memorandum:
- Revokes the Presidential Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security.[1]
- The United States Secretary of Defense and United States Secretary of Homeland Security may exercise their authority to implement any appropriate policies concerning military service by transgender individuals.[1]
On April 13, 2018, the policy was stayed when a federal district court ruled that the 2018 memorandum essentially repeated the same issues as its predecessor order from 2017, that transgender service members (and transgender individuals as a class) were a protected class entitled to strict scrutiny of adverse laws (or at worst, a quasi-suspect class), and ordered that matter continue to a full trial hearing on the legality of the proposed policy.[2][3][4][5]
On January 25, 2021, Trump's successor Joe Biden signed an executive order revoking this memorandum.[6]
