Is it really happening? Multiple sources are claiming that Donald Trump will purge the United States military of transgender troops. Estimates put it at around 15,000 currently members of the military that would be removed.
According to The Mirror:
Donald Trump is planning to kick all transgender members out of the US military, it has been claimed.
And the unprecedented executive order could be launched on his first day back in the White House on January 20. Experts suggest there are over 15,000 active service personnel who are transgender.
They would be given a special medical discharge, which would determine them unfit to serve in the US military, a source reportedly claims.
Trump, 78, is also expected to go one further and issue an outright ban on transgender people joining the military – at a time when many US Army branches are struggling to hit recruitment targets.
The incoming US president has slated what he claims are ‘woke’ military practices and suggested that some top brasses are often more concerned about diversity, equality and inclusion than fighting.
Reactions from conservatives on social media were cheerful:

Recruitment has been way down and it’s widely believed that the “wokeness” of our military is to blame. This action by President Trump would go a long way to correcting the current unnatural nature of our fighting forces.
As I noted on Twitter, Gender Dysphoria is a mental illness and as such those suffering from it should be barred from military service. The military already disqualifies those with psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. Until wokeness took over science, Gender Dysphoria was considered a form of schizophrenia.
Gender Dysphoria is a mental illness. It was always considered as such and has never been scientifically removed from the classification.
Wokeness made it "hate speech" to classify the ailment properly.
Removing the mentally ill from the military is a bold and righteous move by…

Despite the multiple reports, this seems like a stretch to be enacted so quickly. But even if it doesn’t happen on Day One, it seems likely that Pete Hegseth, who President Trump nominated as Defense Secretary, will work through the Pentagon to make this happen.
