The United States Army has officially declared that they will no longer accept applications from transgender individuals. This announcement came after President Donald Trump signed an executive order that aimed to prioritize military readiness and halt taxpayer money from going to ridiculous things like gender transition procedures.
The U.S. Army’s official X account posted that the military will “no longer allow transgender individuals to join the military and will stop performing or facilitating procedures associated with gender transition for service members.”
Round of applause. America is BACK.

The directive is a result of Trump’s January 27 executive order titled “Prioritizing Servicemember Integrity, Lethality, and Health.” The order mandates a rollback of Biden-era policies that had accommodated individuals with gender dysphoria in the military.
Under the new guidelines, the Department of Defense is required to update its medical standards to emphasize readiness and combat effectiveness. It also explicitly bans males from using female-designated sleeping, changing, or bathing facilities, reinforcing traditional biological distinctions within military ranks.
Trump’s administration argues the policy is essential to maintaining a lethal and capable fighting force. In a memo last week, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stressed that the military’s mission requires strict physical and mental standards.
“The lethality, readiness, and warfighting capability of our Force depends on Service members meeting those standards,” Hegseth wrote in the memo, which includes immediately halting the addition of any individual with a history of gender dysphoria.
In addition, any active service members who are related to gender transition will no longer be aided by the military. “Efforts to split our troops along lines of identity weaken our Force and make us vulnerable. Such efforts must not be tolerated or accommodated,” Hegseth declared.
