In lawsuit filing, Pentagon says transgender troops can't serve unless they meet a warfighting need
Briefly

The Pentagon's latest policy on transgender service members disqualifies those diagnosed with gender dysphoria from military service unless they can demonstrate adherence to certain warfighting needs under strict conditions. This policy reflects a belief that military lethality and integrity are incompatible with gender transition processes. Only a few exceptions apply, such as proving the ability to support military activities without undergoing a transition. This approach suggests a rigid stance on gender identity as static, emphasizing biological sex in all service aspects, including recognition in facilities.
The Pentagon's new transgender policy disqualifies individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria from service unless they meet stringent warfighting criteria and restrictions.
The policy stipulates that gender is 'immutable, unchanging during a person's life,' implying transgender personnel's transition creates a conflict with military integrity.
