Canadian Royal Navy Band parading on Gay Pride Day in Toronto Shortly after the announcement by US President Donald Trump that he will ban the entry of transsexuals into his country's military,

We welcome Canadians from all sexual orientations and gender identities. Join us! "Said the Canadian Armed Forces on Twitter.

The text was posted next to a photo of the Royal Canadian Navy Band parading at one of Toronto's Gay Pride Day celebrations, the largest of its kind on the American continent.

It is estimated that approximately 200 people in the Armed Forces of Canada are transsexuals. According to data reported on Wednesday (26), the Department of Defense of Canada paid between 2008 and 2015 a total of 19 sex-change operations with a total cost of 309 thousand Canadian dollars (about US $ 250 thousand).

Trump has announced in the fourth that it will ban transsexuals from working in the country's military, without explaining when the ban will come into effect and reverse the opening adopted last year by former President Barack Obama.

The Republican announced the move by Twitter and said that after consulting with generals and experts, he decided not to "accept or allow" transgenderers to serve in the military.
