H.R. 3406, introduced in May 2025, would prohibit individuals with gender dysphoria from serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. The bill defines this prohibition broadly to include anyone with a current diagnosis, history, or symptoms of gender dysphoria, as well as anyone who has received gender-affirming medical care such as hormone therapy or surgery. The legislation would require military secretaries to discharge any current service members who meet these criteria, and those discharged under this provision would not be required to repay educational benefits or complete remaining service obligations. Additionally, the bill directs the Department of Defense to reinvestigate security clearances for discharged individuals, either readjudicating their eligibility or revoking their access to classified information. The bill has no specified funding or implementation timeline beyond requiring these actions to occur following its passage.
