Trans airmen, Space Force personnel have until March 26 to resign under Trump order: Memo

The Pentagon is urging transgender military personnel in the Air Force and Space Force to “separate voluntarily” by the end of the month, saying that individuals with gender dysphoria are “incompatible with the high mental and physical standards necessary for military service.”

Troops have until March 26 to resign, according to a memorandum filed Sunday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia as part of Talbott v. Trump – one of the first lawsuits filed against President Donald Trump’s executive order barring transgender troops from the military – by GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD Law) and the National Center for Lesbian Rights.

“Service members eligible for voluntary separation pay will be paid at a rate that is twice the amount for which the service member would have been eligible under involuntary separation pay,” the memo, signed by Acting Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs Gwendolyn R. DeFilippi on March 1, states.

PENTAGON SAYS TRANSGENDER TROOPS ARE DISQUALIFIED FROM SERVICE WITHOUT AN EXEMPTION

Cross-sex hormone treatments will continue for service members who have a diagnosis of gender dysphoria that began prior to a separate memo issued last week until the “separation is complete” by direction of a Department of Defense medical provider “in order to prevent further complications.”

However, transgender service members are required to adhere to conduct matching their biological sex, “effective immediately,” including in showers, bathrooms and living quarters, until their withdrawal is completed. Physical dress and fitness standards must also match service members’ biological sex, the memorandum states. 

Last week’s internal Pentagon memo states that service members who are transgender or otherwise exhibit gender dysphoria are prohibited from military service unless they obtain an exemption.

“The Air Force memo is consistent with this purge of highly accomplished, dedicated transgender service members,” attorney Jennifer Levi of Glad Law told Fox News Digital in a statement Monday. “It is shameful. The memo also demonstrates the chaos and havoc being wreaked by this administration in ways that undermine our national security.”

The Trump administration’s transgender military ban is currently facing legal challenges, and the Justice Department filed a complaint against the presiding judge, Ana Reyes, accusing her of potential bias and misconduct. There are currently a handful of lawsuits specifically challenging Trump’s gender-related executive orders.
