Washington-Pentagon will immediately start moving up to 1,000 members of the sexual transformer of the army and give others 30 days to get to know itself under a new direction issued on Thursday.
Backed by the Supreme Court’s decision on Tuesday allowing the Trump administration to enforce a ban on sexually transformed individuals in the army, the Ministry of Defense will start walking in medical records to identify others who have not applied.
Defense Minister Beit Higseth, who issued his last note, explained his views after the court’s decision.
“No more Trans @ DOD”, Higseth wrote in a post on X.
“No more conscience,” told Tampa Special Operations Conference. “No more men in dresses. We have finished that S —.”

Administration officials said it is difficult to determine the number of members of the transgender service exactly, but the medical records will appear for those who have been diagnosed with gender sex, and who show symptoms or are treated.
Then these forces are forced to leave the service. No one with this diagnosis is allowed to recruit. Sex imbalance occurs between the gender when the person’s biological sex does not match his sexual identity.
As of December 9, 2024, officials said there were 4,240 soldiers who were diagnosed with sex defects in the active service, the National Guard, and the Reserve. But they admit the number may be higher.
There are about 2.1 million soldiers serving.
The memorandum, which was issued on Thursday, was issued in February, but any action was suspended at that stage by many lawsuits.
the supreme court It ruled that the administration could be implemented A ban on sexually converts in the armyWhile other legal challenges continue. The three liberal judges told the court that they will keep politics.
Judges in the majority or opposition did not explain their voices, which is not common in emergency calls.
When the first Pentagon was directed earlier this year, the service members gave 30 days to self -recognition. Since then, about 1000 do it.
In a statement, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said that 1,000 soldiers have already been identified “will start the voluntary separation process” from the army.
Under the new guidelines, the active service forces will have until June 6 to voluntarily determine themselves to the department, and the forces in the National Guard and Reserve will have until July 7.
Although it may be difficult to know the forces that changed their sexual identity in their military records, it will be easier to determine who obtained the diagnosis of sex defects because this will be part of their medical record, as well as any medication they take.
Between 2015 and 2024, the total cost of psychotherapy, hormonal treatment for sex, sexual assertion surgery and other treatment of service members is about $ 52 million, according to the defense official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss employee issues.
Pentagon officials defended in a previous memo on the embargo, saying that “medical, surgical and mental health restrictions on individuals who have a current diagnosis or date or offer symptoms consistent with sexual dysfunction that do not correspond to the high mental and physical standards necessary for military service.”
The new Pentagon policy will allow limited exemptions.
This includes transgender staff who seek to recruit those who can prove this on the basis of each individual case that they support the activities of fighting war directly, or if one of the current members of service with sex defects can prove that they support a specific fighting need, and never moves to the sex they know and prove more than 36 months stable in their gender “without a clinical ordeal.” “
If a concession is issued, the applicant will continue to face a position in which his biological gender is recognized only for bathroom facilities, sleeping places, and even in official recognition, such as “sir” or “my lady”.
