US Army bans transgenders from joining military after Donald Trump's order
Washington, D.C.: The US Army has announced that transgender individuals will no longer be allowed to join the military and that all gender-affirming medical care for service members will be discontinued.
“The US Army will no longer allow transgender individuals to join the military and will stop performing or facilitating procedures associated with gender transition for service members,” the Army stated in a post on X.
The Army added that while people with gender dysphoria would be treated with dignity and respect for volunteering to serve America, gender-affirming care would be paused indefinitely.
“Effective immediately, all new accessions for individuals with a history of gender dysphoria are paused, and all unscheduled, scheduled, or planned medical procedures associated with affirming or facilitating a gender transition for Service members are paused,” the post read.
The US Army's announcement comes after US President Donald Trump last month announced he had signed four executive orders that will reshape the military, including banning transgender service members from serving in the US armed forces.
