Under President Trump’s new guidelines, transgender individuals are now deemed nondeployable and formally disqualified from military service.

The Trump administration has initiated the separation of transgender service members, declaring that gender dysphoria is medically incompatible with military standards. The Department of Defense has issued a series of memos directing the identification and removal, voluntary or involuntary, of those diagnosed with, or showing symptoms of, gender dysphoria.
