Hegseth attacks transgender service members in speech: 'No more dudes in dresses. We're done with that s**t'

  • Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth delivered a keynote speech at Special Operations Forces Week 2025 in Tampa, Florida, on Tuesday, May 6, 2025.
  • Hegseth made inflammatory remarks denigrating transgender military members as the Supreme Court allowed the Pentagon to enforce the transgender service ban under Executive Order 14183.
  • In his speech, Hegseth vowed "No more dudes in dresses. We're done with that s**t," advocated ending wokeness, and emphasized returning to a warrior ethos focused on military strength.
  • The ban mandates discharging all transgender service members and blocks future enlistments, while the Department of Defense has an official transcript of Hegseth’s remarks.
  • Hegseth’s stance signals a shift away from inclusion efforts, raising concerns that the military may revert to prior policies that dismiss contributions from transgender personnel.
