The Pentagon has issued a memorandum urging transgender military personnel in the Air Force and Space Force to voluntarily separate by the end of the month. The reasoning provided is that individuals with gender dysphoria are deemed incompatible with the high mental and physical standards required for military service.
According to the memorandum filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, troops have until March 26 to resign. Those eligible for voluntary separation pay will receive double the amount they would have received under involuntary separation pay.
