The Fit to Serve Act would prohibit discrimination against service members in the U.S. Armed Forces based on gender identity, including those with a gender dysphoria diagnosis. The bill prevents military leadership from using gender identity as grounds to deny enlistment or reenlistment, force separation from service, deny medically necessary health care, or require individuals to serve under their sex assigned at birth. The legislation affects all active-duty and reserve military personnel and would apply across all military branches under the Department of Defense. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are outlined in this initial version of the bill, which was introduced in June 2025 and referred to the Senate Committee on Armed Services for review.
