Were people sent home?
Or did Trump just tweet it and then nothing happened?

Just going to throw it out there whenever someone says something I don't like or I don't really have a response to. It's pretty good.
"Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis said Monday that the White House had still not provided policy guidance on transgender persons serving in the military, adding that they were still studying the issue, raising the prospect that transgender service members may be allowed to continue to serve despite President Donald Trump's July announcement of a ban via twitter."
"We are going to study the issue," Mattis told reporters at the Pentagon.
"The policy is going to address whether or not transgenders can serve under what conditions, what medical support they require, how much time would they be perhaps non-deployable leaving others to pick up their share of everything. There's a host of issues and I'm learning more about this than I ever thought I would and it's obviously very complex to include the privacy issues which we respect," Mattis said.
As an aside, which gender trans will be required to register for the draft? Seems to me both because the ones who change from women are now men, and the ones who change from men are now women, but the entire reason for exempting women from the need to register is no longer applicable now that women can serve in combat roles.
