This order requires that the United States Department of Defense update medical enlistment and retention standards to ban transgender individuals from serving in the armed forces within 60 days and to discontinue the practice of pronoun self-identification. It also requires that the United States Secretary of Defense identify further measures needed for full implementation and provide a report to the President summarizing these measures within 30 days. Service members will be required to use sleeping, changing, and bathing facilities corresponding to their assigned sex, with exceptions only in cases of operational necessity. The order outrageously declares that identifying as a gender that is different from an individual’s sex assigned at birth “conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life.” The order also states that using pronouns inconsistent with one’s assigned sex compromises the government’s ability to “establish high standards for troop readiness, lethality, cohesion, honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity.”
