@skibidist “Correction: An earlier version of this article misstated the immediate impact of Trump’s Monday executive order rescinding Biden’s executive actions. It clears the way for banning transgender people from military service”

“clears the way” I think this is ambiguous

@Manifold should this resolve to yes?

@typeofemale see also your twitter replies, but it looks like current active policy is the 2018 memorandum

What if such an order is made but halted by the courts?

@Lexer resolves to yes, it is about trump
