US Army to change transgender soldiers' records to birth sex: Reuters

  • In May 2025, the U.S. Army directed commanders to revise transgender soldiers' personnel files to indicate the sex they were assigned when born across all administrative systems.
  • This directive follows a Supreme Court ruling that allowed enforcement of the Trump administration’s transgender military ban, which bars enlistment and mandates discharges by June 6.
  • The 14-page Army memo mandates aligning pronouns and salutations with birth sex and restricts access to shared spaces like showers and sleeping quarters accordingly.
  • According to a February Gallup poll, 58% of Americans support open transgender military service, down from 71% in 2019, while there are about 4,240 active-duty and National Guard transgender troops.
  • Experts and advocates describe the policy as aggressive and disruptive, warning the chaotic implementation harms military readiness and erases transgender identities from military systems.
