Documents obtained by Federal News Network indicate that the Office of the Secretary of Defense has identified service members who 'may have a current diagnosis or history of or exhibit symptoms consistent with gender dysphoria' in their electronic healthcare records.
Sources told the outlet they believe the military is using MHS Genesis and other databases to identify service members whose records contain relevant diagnoses or treatment histories. MHS Genesis contains medical histories, prescriptions, mental health notes and records of civilian care covered by TRICARE. Personnel databases can also contain historical changes to a service member's listed gender.
