US Army to change transgender soldiers' records to birth sex: Reuters

  • The U.S. Army intends to update personnel files to reflect soldiers' biological sex at birth and will begin removing those who do not voluntarily separate by June 6, 2025.
  • This policy follows a January 27, 2025 executive order signed by President Trump that reversed the Biden-era allowance for transgender troops to serve openly, enabled by a Supreme Court ruling permitting the ban.
  • According to Army memos, Human Resources Command will update personnel records and require use of pronouns and access to intimate spaces based strictly on biological sex, with commanders designating such spaces for male, female, or family use.
  • There are reportedly 4,240 transgender individuals serving in the U.S. Military across active-duty and National Guard roles, while a Gallup survey from February showed that 58% of Americans support transgender military service, marking a decrease from 71% in 2019.
  • Civil rights advocates like Jennifer Levi from GLAD Law criticize the new directives as vindictive and chaotic, warning they harm military readiness amid a culture war–driven Pentagon approach.
