President Donald Trump on Monday signed a slew of executive orders that sought to repeal Biden-era policies. One order repealed a provision that allows transgender people to serve in the military.The move clears the way for a complete ban on trans servicemembers, and could have a huge impact on San Diego.With more anti-trans legislation on the horizon, local LGBTQ+ groups are bracing themselves against continued attacks on the trans and nonbinary community.
