Pentagon Orders Discharge of Transgenders
streiff
The Department of Defense has issued new guidance ordering the military services to begin the process of discharging transgender members of the Armed Forces in 30 days. The new policy recognizes only two sexes; it requires members of the Armed Forces to adhere to the physical fitness and grooming standards of their biological sex. Any attempt at chemically or surgically changing sex makes the person unsuitable for military service. If a person had, at some point, been transgender they can be retained if they "demonstrate “36 consecutive months of stability” in their sex with no “clinically significant distress or impairment,” if they can prove they have “never attempted to transition to any sex other than their sex” and if they are willing to adhere to “all applicable standards” relating to their sex."

f. The Department only recognizes two sexes: male and female. An individual's sex is immutable, unchanging during a person's life. All Service members will only serve in accordance with their sex, defined in Executive Order 14168, "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government," as "an individual's immutable biological classification as either male or female."
g. Where a standard, requirement, or policy depends on whether the individual is a male or female ( e.g., medical fitness for duty, physical fitness and body fat standards; berthing, bathroom, and shower facilities; and uniform and grooming standards), all persons will be subject to the standard, requirement, or policy associated with their sex.
h. Pronoun usage when referring to Service members must reflect a Service member's sex. In keeping with good order and discipline, salutations ( e.g., addressing a senior officer as "Sir" or "Ma'am") must also reflect an individual's sex.
