(CNN)The Pentagon said Monday that it will begin processing transgender applicants to the military on January 1.

That development follows an earlier ruling by a federal judge on Monday who declined the US government's request to put on hold an order allowing transgender individuals to join the military beginning in January. The decision means transgender people will be free to enlist in the new year.

Good - glad to see the court making the correct constitutional/inclusive decision on this.

However -

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said the Department of Justice is "reviewing the legal options" on court ruling on transgender Americans serving in the military.

"They are simply complying with a court order and preparing to implement a previous policy to remain in compliance. The Department of Justice is currently reviewing the legal options to ensure that he President's directive can be implemented," Sanders said.

Some folks just like stirring up trouble/hate whenever/wherever they can. There will be no long term benefit to follow the so-called leader here, the one trying to marginalize some of his own people. Jmo.
