💨 Abstract

The U.S. military is preparing to remove transgender troops following a memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Troops have until June 6 (active duty) and July 7 (National Guard and Reserve) to identify themselves and begin leaving. This policy reverses the 2016 lift of the transgender service ban and sets a process for identifying and separating troops diagnosed with or treated for gender dysphoria. Around 1,000 troops have already voluntarily identified as transgender.
