President Trump issued an executive order that will remove all gender ideology from the U.S. military.
The order does not specifically say that transgender people cannot serve in the military. It does say that the new Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has 60 days to issue new medical standards for the military and that they must reflect high standards of physical and mental fitness. It further states: “It is the policy of the United States Government to establish high standards for troop readiness, lethality, cohesion, honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity. This policy is inconsistent with the medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria. This policy is also inconsistent with shifting pronoun usage or use of pronouns that inaccurately reflect an individual’s sex.”
The order will remove “invented and identification-based pronoun usage” and will prevent the military from allowing males to “use or share sleeping, changing, or bathing facilities designated for females, nor allow females to use or share sleeping, changing, or bathing facilities designated for males.”
This is a reversal of President Biden’s executive orders allowing all of the above. Leaked memos from 2023 show that the Biden administration was providing sex change operations and hormones to service members, thereby making them ineligible for deployment. The document warns that these drugs would lead to a “redistribution of fat” and “decrease of muscle mass.”
Why in the heck would a country wants a military that it cannot deploy, whose bodies they are destroying, who end up on expensive medical discharge for the rest of their lives? It is the opposite of Super Soldier Serum.
