The U.S. Navy has announced a significant policy change regarding gender identity within its ranks. According to a recent memo obtained by sources, the Navy will no longer inquire about gender identity, instead focusing solely on biological sex in forms and single-sex spaces on ships and bases.
The memo, dated Tuesday, emphasizes that the U.S. officially recognizes only two sexes, which are considered non-interchangeable. It specifically mentions the designation of single-sex 'intimate spaces,' such as bathrooms and living quarters for single sailors, on bases and ships.
