Pentagon halting gender-affirming healthcare for transgender troops, memo says

  • The Pentagon halted gender-affirming healthcare for transgender troops in February 2025, enforcing a ban nationwide including involuntary separations.
  • This action follows President Donald Trump's January 2025 executive order citing medical costs and unit readiness concerns, despite ongoing legal challenges and court rulings.
  • Affected service members like Mason Benavides face separation with reduced benefits, report rejection in a hostile environment, and many are preparing to leave the military.
  • Researchers emphasize gender-affirming care improves mental health and lowers suicidality, while proponents of the ban argue it protects military effectiveness and cohesion.
  • The policy has intensified legal battles and debates over discrimination, transgender rights, and military values, deeply impacting individuals and military institutions alike.
