US Department of Defense Begins Discharge of Transgender Military Personnel.

The US Department of Defense will discharge up to 1000 transgender military personnel

The US Department of Defense has begun the process of discharging up to 1000 military personnel who have identified as transgender. According to new regulations, the remaining service members have 30 days to self-identify, otherwise they will also be discharged. This information was released by the Department of Defense and disseminated by The Guardian.

From now on, the American military will check medical records in search of transgender military personnel. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced on social media that there will be no place for transgender individuals in the Armed Forces.

Officials from the military department emphasize that the exact number of transgender service members is impossible to determine, but it is possible to identify those with gender dysphoria, symptoms, or who require treatment based on medical records.

Previously, approximately 8,000 transgender service members served in the US Armed Forces. President Donald Trump signed an order that revoked the possibility of service for transgender individuals in the military. This ban was upheld by the US Supreme Court, granting the authority the right to refuse current and new military personnel with gender dysphoria.
