Senator Marco Rubio and Rep. Jim Banks have introduced legislation seeking to ban transgender Americans from serving in the military.
There are an estimated 150,000 transgender U.S. military veterans. Evan Young, president of the Transgender American Veterans Association,after Trump’s ban went into effect in 2019. “We serve with honor and we’re patriotic,” they said. “We give our lives for this country, yet they’re saying we can’t serve and it’s beyond my comprehension why, besides discrimination.”
Rubio’s office describes the Ensuring Military Readiness Act as “building” on Trump’s ban, in part by adding “more stringent requirements and revamps the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System to ensure all service members’ gender markers match their biological sex.” The bill disqualifies all Americans who identify as transgender or have a history of gender dysphoria from serving unless they are “stable” in their biological sex. The Department of Defense would have 90 days to issue the bill’s regulations should it go into effect.
“Our bill ensures that DoD puts lethality and readiness before far-left ideology,” Banks wrote in a statement announcing the bill’s introduction.that the cost of transition-related health care in the military is relatively insignificant, and allowing trans people to serve caused no significant impact on force readiness.
“The limited research on the effects of foreign military policies indicates little or no impact on unit cohesion, operational effectiveness, or readiness,” the study found. “Commanders noted that the policies had benefits for all service members by creating a more inclusive and diverse force. Policy changes to open more roles to women and to allow gay and lesbian personnel to serve openly in the U.S.
