Order follows Pentagon’s announcement to remove 1,000 military members who openly identify as trans

US military commanders will be told to identify troops in their units who are transgender or have gender dysphoria, then send them to get medical checks in order to force them out of the service.

A senior defense official on Thursday laid out what could be a complicated and lengthy new process aimed at fulfilling Donald Trump’s directive to remove transgender service members from the US military despite years of service alongside all the other two million US troops.

Earlier this month, the Pentagon announced plans to remove in short order the 1,000 members of the military who openly identify as trans, and giving those who have yet to so identify openly 30 days to remove themselves.

    I think some folks interpret thoughts like “I wonder what its like to be insert gender here” as dysphoria. I don’t think I would consider that myself but I can see why someone might.

    For a lot of folks it’s a genuinely rhetorical question with no thought or substance beyond the initial thought. But for some it’s the beginning of an awakening, you just have to remember they did not live your life and you did not live thiers. Little details you would have never thought to consider or are unconcerned with may be a game changer for someone else.
