Pentagon to restart Biden-era medical policy for transgender service members

The Department of Defense will restart providing gender-based medical care for transgender troops, as a related court case continues through the legal process.

A new memo indicates that the department will return to the Biden-era medical policy for transgender service members due to a court order that determined Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s restrictions as unconstitutional, according to Politico. The administration is currently appealing the decision, but a federal appeals court denied its effort to halt the policy while the appeal is pending.
