US Army to change transgender soldiers' records to birth sex: Reuters
- The U.S. Army ordered commanders in May 2025 to change transgender soldiers' personnel records to reflect their birth sex and adjust pronouns and access accordingly.
- This directive comes after the Supreme Court decision that allowed the Department of Defense to enforce a prohibition initially established during the Trump administration, which reversed the previous Biden-era policy permitting openly transgender individuals to serve.
- The 14-page Army memo includes steps to update administrative systems, restrict access to shared spaces by biological sex, and use salutations like 'sir' or 'ma'am' based on birth sex.
- About 4,240 transgender troops serve actively, while a February Gallup poll showed 58% of Americans support transgender individuals serving openly, down from 71% in 2019.
- The policy could lead to involuntary discharge for those who do not resign by June 6, potentially affecting military readiness, and prompting legal and advocacy group criticism about chaotic implementation.
