Active-duty transgender troops have until 6 June to begin voluntarily separating from the armed forces, Reserves can wait until 7 July. Those who do so will receive an honorable discharge from military service and separation pay, which is fair. Those who do not will be processed for involuntary separation.<\/p>\n

Transgender troops who don\u2019t self-report will have medical records reviewed<\/h3>\n

WASHINGTON \u2014 Troops with a history of gender dysphoria or who show symptoms of the condition will be subject to medical record reviews if they don\u2019t self-report, according to a memo issued Thursday by the Pentagon.<\/p>\n

Medical screenings will be the Defense Department\u2019s primary means of involuntarily booting out transgender troops who do not self-identify for a discharge from military service, according to a senior defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity. The medical screenings will be conducted through the department\u2019s individual medical readiness program, which is executed on a rolling basis to assess whether a service member is able to deploy on a mission.<\/p>\n

But unit commanders can also initiate medical screenings of service members suspected of having gender dysphoria if they do not self-identify as the Pentagon works to weed out transgender people. Gender dysphoria is the distress that a person feels because their assigned gender and gender identity don\u2019t match. The medical condition has been linked to depression and suicidal thoughts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
