💨 Abstract

The Pentagon, following a Supreme Court decision, is initiating the removal of up to 1,000 openly identifying transgender service members and giving others 30 days to self-identify. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been outspoken about this policy shift, aiming to exclude all transgender individuals from the military. Officials estimate around 4,240 troops may be affected based on diagnoses of gender dysphoria, though the actual number could be higher.
