Up to 1,000 transgender troops are emotional of the army in the order of the New Pentagon

Washington – The Pentagon will immediately start to move up to 1,000 people who openly identify the military of the army and give other 30 days to identify themselves as part of a new directive published on Thursday.

Presented by the decision of the Supreme Court on Tuesday, allowing the Trump administration to enforce transgender people in the army, the Ministry of Defense will begin to go through medical records to identify others who have not come forward.

Defense secretary Pete Hegseth, who published the last memo, clearly said his opinion after the court's decision.

“More trans @ dod,” wrote Hegseth in an article on X. Earlier in the day, before the court played, Hegseth said that his department leaves behind.

“More pronouns,” he told a conference on special operations forces in Tampa. “More guys in dresses. We have finished with this S —.”

Department officials said it was difficult to determine exactly the number of transgender service members, but medical records will show those diagnosed with gender dysphoria, which have symptoms or treated.

These troops would then be involuntarily forced to leave the service. And no one with this diagnosis will be allowed to enlist. Gender dysphoria occurs when a person's biological sex does not correspond to their gender identity.

The officials said that on December 9, 2024, 4,240 soldiers were diagnosed with gender dysphoria in active service, National Guard and Reserve. But they recognize that the number can be higher.

There are about 2.1 million soldiers in total.

The memo published Thursday reflects that that sent in February, but all action was blocked at that time by several proceedings.

THE Supreme Court Judged that the administration could enforce the Prohibition of transgender people in the armyWhile other legal challenges take place. The three liberal judges of the court said that they would have suspended politics.

Nor the majority judges or dissent explained their votes, which is not uncommon in emergency calls.

When the initial Pentagon directive was released earlier this year, it gave soldiers 30 days to identify. Since then, around 1,000 have done so.

In a statement, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the 1,000 soldiers who self-identified “would begin the army's voluntary separation process.

Under the new guidelines, the troops in active service will have until June 6 to voluntarily identify in the department, and the troops of the National Guard and the Reserve will have until July 7.

Although it can be difficult to see which troops have changed their gender identity in their military files, it will be easier to determine who has obtained a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, as this will be part of their medical file, just like any medication they take.

Between 2015 and 2024, the total cost of psychotherapy, hormone therapy affirming sex, surgery affirmed by sexes and other treatments for members of the service represents around 52 million dollars, according to a defense official, who spoke under the guise of anonymity to discuss personnel issues.

Pentagon officials in a previous note defended the prohibition, claiming that “medical, surgical and mental health constraints on people who have a current diagnosis or history or have symptoms compatible with gender dysphoria are incompatible with the high mental and physical standards necessary for military service.”

The new Pentagon policy would allow limited exemptions.

This includes transgender personnel seeking to enlist who can prove on a case -by -case basis that they directly support warning activities, or if an existing service member diagnosed with gender dysphoria can prove that they support a specific war need for war, never passing clinically significant distress. “”

If a renunciation is issued, the applicant would always be confronted with a situation where only his biological sex was recognized for the bathrooms, the dormitories and even in official recognition, as being called “sir” or “madam”.
