U.S. service members who are transgender or otherwise exhibit gender dysphoria are prohibited from military service unless they obtain an exemption, according to an internal Pentagon memo.
The memo, revealed in a court filing on Wednesday night, details the Trump administration’s new policy regarding transgender individuals. The policy notes that such service members “may be considered for a waiver on a case-by-case basis, provided there is a compelling Government interest.”
“Service members who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria are disqualified from military service,” the memo reads.
