Transgender Troop Members To Be Removed From US Military
The Pentagon has issued a memo stating that transgender service members will be discharged from the military.
The U.S. will begin removing transgender troops from the military within 30 days unless they obtain a waiver on a case-by-case basis, the Pentagon said in a Wednesday memo.
The memo became public as part of a court filing in a case challenging President Trump’s late January executive order that was aimed at barring military service by transgender personnel.
“Service members who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria will be processed for separation from military service,” the memo read.
The memo regarding the separation of transgender individuals from the military stated,
“The department only recognizes two sexes: male and female.”
