U.S Army Announces Complete Ban on 'Trans-Identifying' Individuals from Joining Military

The U.S. Army has announced that it will no longer allow “transgender-identifying” individuals to join the military and has halted medical procedures related to gender transitions for current service members.

The Army clarified that while those who have served with gender dysphoria will be allowed to continue their service, no new recruits with the condition will be accepted.

Additionally, the Army has stopped any unscheduled, scheduled, or planned “gender transition” procedures for service members.

This move aligns with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s reforms.

Hegseth emphasized a return to military readiness and leadership, informing leaders of the nation’s military academies that divisive “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) initiatives would no longer be tolerated.

He also stated that military academies should prioritize history, engineering, and war studies over non-military topics.

The significant overhaul also includes reforms to military academy curricula, which Hegseth argued should not be treated like civilian universities.

This move marks a new era of reversing policies from previous years that allowed transgender individuals to receive “gender-affirming” medical care.

The shift is part of a broader conservative push to restore traditional values and effectiveness to the U.S. military, moving away from social issues and focusing more on defending the country.

The Department of Defense maintained that while all service members will be treated with dignity and respect, this decision represents a decisive move to scale back on the inclusion of transgender individuals.
