Transgender care for members of the military and their dependents is under threat more than ever before.
Thousands of New Yorkers take to the streets to protest a ban on transgender people serving in the military on July 26, 2017, in New York City.The United States Senate’s committee report for the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act, which provides funding for the U.S. Military, wasMonday night.
The final version of the National Defense Authorization Act, which included these anti-trans policy riders, was reported favorably out of committee in a bipartisan manner.

The inclusion of these provisions in the Senate means that the House and Senate versions will not be in conflict should the full Senate pass this bill, which is viewed as a “must pass” piece of legislation.
by the President indicated that he was wavering on at least some forms of gender-affirming care for youth, such as surgeries. The administration alsocalling for “mental healthcare” for trans youth, leaving out gender-affirming hormone therapy and puberty blockers, though that statement was. This caused many transgender critics of the policy to point out that it could signal weakness on the issue and indicate that the issue is a potential place for compromise for more conservative Democrats.
In a statement about the riders, President of the Human Rights Campaign, Kelley Robinson, said, “Everyone deserves medically necessary, best practice healthcare without politicians standing in the way. That includes those who serve their country bravely and their families. These attempts to hijack the National Defense Authorization Act are outrageous and will cause real world harm.
