Military Plans to Investigate GIs for "Symptoms" of Being Trans
Briefly

The court filing in Talbott v. Trump reveals a controversial shift in the military's approach to transgender service members. Under the newly proposed policy, all service members may be questioned about symptoms of gender dysphoria, broadening the investigation beyond openly transgender individuals to potentially include those who are closeted. The policy would only be enacted if a prior injunction is lifted. This approach raises serious concerns regarding privacy, discrimination and the mental health implications for service members, as the criteria for determining gender dysphoria are deemed intentionally vague.
The military's new policy shift seeks to question all service members about potential transgender symptoms, effectively broadening the scope of investigation.
The filing deliberately expands the criteria to potentially target even those who are closeted, raising concerns over privacy and discrimination.
