The Fit to Serve Act would amend federal military law to prohibit the Department of Defense from discriminating against service members based on gender identity, including those with a diagnosis or potential diagnosis of gender dysphoria. Specifically, the bill would prevent the military from using gender identity as a basis for denying someone the ability to serve, forcing someone to separate from the military, withholding medically necessary health care, requiring service in their sex assigned at birth, or denying enlistment or reenlistment. The legislation affects all members of the Armed Forces and prospective service members. There is no specific funding mechanism or implementation timeline included in the bill language provided. The measure was introduced in May 2025 and referred to the House Armed Services Committee for consideration.
