The U.S. Army is no longer allowing transgender individuals to enlist and will stop performing or facilitating procedures associated with gender transitions for service members. The new restrictions, detailed in a social media post Friday night, reflect policy changes expected to be implemented across the military after President Donald Trump signed an executive order calling for revised policies on transgender troops.At least two lawsuits, filed on behalf of current transgender service members and those hoping to enlist, seek to block enforcement of the order. The legal battle is expected to heat up this week, with a hearing scheduled for Tuesday. For now, it remains unclear how the order will impact transgender people already serving in the military. A spokesperson for the U.S. Army confirmed Saturday that the Trump administration has yet to issue formal policy guidance for these service members. A memo sent to senior Pentagon leadership from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth earlier this month suggested further guidance for this group is forthcoming. It added, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Individuals with gender dysphoria have volunteered to serve our country and will be treated with dignity and respect.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Dr. Geirid Morgan, an active-duty lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy with 14 years of military service, is one of the plaintiffs challenging the president바카라 게임 웹사이트�s executive order. She currently serves as a Medical Service Corps research physiologist, but she started her career as an enlisted Navy diver. Morgan had years of service under her belt before starting her medical transition in 2022. "I was still a little bit scared and anxious about what this would all mean for my career, what this would mean for my family,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Morgan said. She says that fear was met with full support from the chain of command under a Biden-era policy that allowed transgender people to serve openly in the military. "It was really kind of a dream come true in that regard,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Morgan said. But transgender service members now face a very different reality under Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s executive order. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Expressing a false 'gender identity' divergent from an individual바카라 게임 웹사이트�s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s order says. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Beyond the hormonal and surgical medical interventions involved, adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual바카라 게임 웹사이트�s sex conflicts with a soldier바카라 게임 웹사이트�s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one바카라 게임 웹사이트�s personal life.바카라 게임 웹사이트� "It's confusing to me as it is very incongruent with my own experience and the experience of other transgender service members that I know very well. We serve honorably before our transitions and after our transitions. We meet every performance requirement," Morgan said. Trump signed the order last month, alongside another effort to ban diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in the military.Hegseth promised to carry out those orders during his Senate confirmation hearing, arguing that it is a critical step to ensure military readiness. "Our military will follow that order, senator, gladly, because they want to focus on lethality and war-fighting,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Hegseth said.Morgan argues removing soldiers who bring decades of experience to the table will set the military back. She says she will keep serving her country for as long as she is allowed. "Service is something higher. It's a calling. It's something that you truly believe in and make sacrifices to do, and I look at this as just another sacrifice, another set of roadblocks,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Morgan said. Supporters of Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s policy have also pointed to the cost of providing gender-affirming care. The Department of Defense didn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t immediately respond to questions about spending, but other media outlets report that the price tag over the last decade is in the millions.
