US EditionUp to 1,000 transgender troops are being moved out of the military in new Pentagon order
- On Thursday, the Defense Department announced it would promptly start separating up to a thousand transgender service members who have openly disclosed their gender identity, while also allowing others a 30-day period to self-report under the new order.
- This action follows the Supreme Court's Tuesday decision that allows the current administration to proceed with restrictions on transgender service members in the military despite ongoing lawsuits.
- The department will also give other transgender troops 30 days to self-identify and will review medical records to find service members who have not disclosed their status.
- As of December 9, 2024, there are 4,240 military personnel across active duty, National Guard, and Reserve components who have been identified as experiencing gender dysphoria, out of approximately 2.1 million service members in total.
- The directive signals enforcement of the ban that officials say reflects medical and readiness concerns, while lawsuits and legal challenges continue.
