Transgender recruits will be able to join the U.S. military as of January 1st, 2018, a federal judge ruled, denying trump's want to ban transgender troops. The U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly refused to lift part of her Oct. 30 order stopping the ban to take effect until the case is resolved (it most likely violates the U.S. Constitution's guarantees of due process and equal protection under law). Kollar-Kotelly rejected the arguments of the administration, who said that the January 1st deadline had problems due to the tens of thousands of personnel needing to be trained on the medical standards for trans soldiers. Kollar-Kotelly said that the preparations for accepting trans troops were underway during Obama's presidency. The U.S. Department of Justice asked the judge to suspend the Jan. 1 date, with the warning of it causing confusion int he ranks.
