The US army will no longer allow transgender people to enlist, and will stop providing gender-affirming care for service members, it announced on social media, SİA informs via CBS News.
"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. Stay tuned for more details," the post said.
The Army later commended troops with "gender dysphoria" in a follow-up post, stating they "volunteered to serve our country and will be treated with dignity and respect."
The announcement follows an executive order signed by President Trump on January 27 that directed the Pentagon to determine a policy for transgender service members within 30 days.
The president's order stated that expressing "a gender identity inconsistent with an individual's sex conflicts with a soldier's commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one's personal life" and that those doing so "cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had paused bringing in recruits who have a diagnosis of gender dysphoria and paused all gender-affirming care, according to a memo issued February 7.
