Following a Supreme Court decision, the Pentagon has initiated a directive mandating the involuntary removal of up to 1,000 transgender service members from the military. Under the new policy, troops are given 30 days to self-identify, while the Department of Defense plans to comb through medical records to determine the extent of the transgender population in service. This controversial decision reflects the Trump administration's ongoing efforts to restrict transgender rights within the military framework, marking a significant change in policy that has implications for gender identity and military service.
The Pentagon will immediately begin moving as many as 1,000 service members who identify as transgender out of the military, and give others 30 days to self-identify.
The decision to identify and involuntarily force trans people out of service comes after a Supreme Court ruling that allowed the Trump administration's ban on transgender troops to proceed.
