Bill Summary

A BILL To prohibit individuals with gender dysphoria from serving as members of the Armed Forces, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, called the Readiness Over Wokeness Act, would prohibit individuals with gender dysphoria from serving in the Armed Forces. Specifically, the bill prevents military service for people who have a current diagnosis of gender dysphoria, have a history of gender dysphoria, exhibit symptoms consistent with gender dysphoria, or have previously received gender-affirming care such as hormone therapy or gender confirmation surgery. If such individuals are currently serving, they would be administratively discharged from the military. The bill provides that these discharged service members would not be required to reimburse the government for educational benefits or complete any existing service obligations. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Secretary of Defense conduct a security clearance reinvestigation for any discharged personnel who previously had access to classified information, and allows for the potential revocation of their security clearance if they do not cooperate with the reinvestigation or do not enter a position requiring such clearance. The legislation appears to be aimed at restricting military service for transgender individuals under the premise of maintaining military readiness.
