The United States Army announced that it would no longer be allowing transgender-identifying individuals to join the military and would no longer be performing medical procedures “associated with gender transition.”
“The #USArmy will no longer allow transgender individuals to join the military and will stop performing or facilitating procedures associated with gender transition for service members,” The U.S. Army wrote in a post on X.
The announcement from the U.S. Army comes after President Donald Trump previously signed an executive order stating that people who “express a false ‘gender identity’ divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service.”
Consistent with the military mission and longstanding DoD policy, expressing a false “gender identity” divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service. Beyond the hormonal and surgical medical interventions involved, adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual’s sex conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life. A man’s assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement that others honor this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member.
The executive order also states that the policy of the U.S. government is to “establish high standards for troop readiness, lethality, cohesion, honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity,” adding that the policy is “inconsistent with the medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria.”
Breitbart News’s Hannah Knudsen previously reported that the Pentagon under the Trump administration had announced that it was pausing “all new accessions for individuals with a history of gender dysphoria,” and that medical procedures that facilitate and affirm a gender transition were also paused.

A Rasmussen Reports survey conducted between January 29-30 and February 2, of 1,325 likely voters found that 54 percent of likely voters in the U.S. approve of Trump’s executive order to “discharge military service members who identify as transgender.” The survey also found that 41 percent of likely voters in the U.S. “disapprove of discharging transgender service members.”
Probably 4 years ago or so I heard a doctor in the military interviewed.
He said nearly every one of the sex change people with injections and surgery paid by the military end up with complications, body rejections, adverse reactions and the need for more surgery and recovery. A fortune in costs and the service person is not duty ready at any point. Was a way to get free surgery and care by joining up and then exercising their right to paid medical care in the service.
Thanks to God.
Amen 🙏🏻!
LOL, clearly is a man. He has a giant sign there, because he looks so much like a man, nobody would believe he identifies as a woman........
Why only the Army ?
Why not the entire US military?
"It's about time!"
“Gender affirming” should be rejected for the lie that it is. It is denial of the gender God gave them from conception!
This. Losing the war giving them the language.
YAY!!! There are plenty of other places for Trans....right?
Exactly. Join the Army and get your transition and drugs paid for in perpetuity.
Once you are transitioned, you become an un friable sacred cow with you pick of cushy desk duty - where you get to control the lives of those serving in the field. This is how the Democrats win control of the military.
Why does even a supposedly conservative news site like Breitbart use the term “gender-affirming” for efforts to DENY ones’ gender?
That is just .... soooooooo wrong .... it boggles the mind
BTTT

I don’t think it could have been stated more perfectly. It leaves no room for argument.

Good. People who want to sexually mutilate themselves can do it on their own dime. If they’re adults it’s “their money and their choice” on how to spend it.
Same with the ‘men who want to pretend they’re dogs’. They can do that surgery on their own dime too. Uncle Sam isn’t being played for a fool anymore.
Oh, and sexual weirdos need to leave the kids alone - that’s NOT their business and soon it will be against the law to sexually mutilate children.
