Overview
- A newly issued 14-page Army memo mandates updating transgender soldiers' records to reflect only their biological sex at birth.
- The directive enforces pronoun use and salutations based on birth sex, citing 'good order and discipline.'
- Shared facilities, such as bathrooms and sleeping quarters, will be designated strictly by biological sex, with family-use spaces as an alternative.
- These measures follow the Supreme Court's recent decision allowing full enforcement of the Trump administration's ban on transgender military service.
- Over 4,200 active-duty and National Guard transgender troops face halted gender-affirming care and a June 6 deadline to leave the service voluntarily or face removal.
