A memo from defense secretary Pete Hegseth, filed in court yestereday, says that the US military will no longer allow trannies transgender individuals to join the armed forces and will stop performing or facilitating :procedures associated with gender transition" for service members.
The memo comes after President Trump signed an executive order in January that took aim at transgender troops in a personal way, saying that a man identifying as a woman was "not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member."
In his memo, Secretary Hegseth cited the President's EO, thus: "As the president clearly stated, expressing a false 'gender identity' divergent from an individual's sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service."
"The department must ensure it is building 'one force' without subgroups defined by anything other than ability or mission adherence. Efforts to split our troops along lines of identity weaken our force and make us vulnerable. Such efforts must not be tolerated or accommodated."
