Up to 1,000 transgender troops being separated under new Pentagon memo, over 4200 active/inactive troops diagnosed with gender dysphoria

Wow, so many of them! Like a fashion mania! How many social experiments can a combat ready military absorb?

Were their "gender affirming" treatments paid for by taxpayers?

Why not create a separate transgender soldiers division within the US military?

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) policy (enacted in 1993) like for gay soldiers does not apply for transgender soldiers very well?

"The Pentagon will immediately begin moving as many as 1,000 openly identifying transgender service members out of the military and give others 30 days to self-identify under a new directive issued Thursday. ...

the Defense Department will begin going through medical records to identify others who haven’t come forward. ...

Hegseth said that his department is leaving wokeness and weakness behind.

No more pronouns,” he told a special operations forces conference in Tampa. “No more dudes in dresses. We’re done with that s---.” ...

medical records will show those who have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, who show symptoms or are being treated.

Those troops would then be involuntarily forced out of the service. And no one with that diagnosis will be allowed to enlist. ...

Officials have said that as of Dec. 9, 2024, there were 4,240 troops diagnosed with gender dysphoria in the active duty, National Guard and Reserve. But they acknowledge the number may be higher.

There are about 2.1 million total troops serving."
