Bill > S2006

This bill, known as the Fit to Serve Act, aims to amend Title 10 of the United States Code to prohibit discrimination against military service members based on gender identity. Specifically, the bill prevents military officials from taking adverse actions against service members solely because of their gender identity, which is defined as an individual's gender-related identity, appearance, mannerisms, or characteristics, regardless of their sex assigned at birth. The bill prohibits several types of discriminatory actions, including: preventing service based on gender identity or a gender dysphoria diagnosis, involuntarily separating service members, denying medically necessary healthcare, requiring individuals to serve in the sex they were assigned at birth, denying military accession or reenlistment, and any other form of discrimination related to gender identity. By explicitly protecting transgender service members, the bill seeks to ensure that all individuals who are willing and able to serve in the Armed Forces can do so without facing prejudice or unfair treatment based on their gender identity.
