The Defense Department moved quickly to begin the process of offloading service members afflicted with gender dysphoria after the Supreme Court cleared the way for President Donald J. Trump’s policy to be implemented.
On Thursday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that active-duty transgender troops will have a 30 day window to voluntarily separate themselves from the military or they will be booted out with the deadline to leave being June 6, the first week of “Pride Month,” a month devoted to a national orgy of celebration for the LGBTQ+ lifestyle.
“After a SCOTUS victory for @POTUS, TRANS is out at the DOD,” Hegseth said in a post to X along with a short video explaining the decision.

“Here at the Defense Department we continue to relentlessly pursue the president’s agenda,” the Pentagon chief began, quoting Trump’s executive order on the banning of transgender individuals from the armed forces.
“Two days at the Supreme Court, our policy was upheld and so we’re going to continue to advance that policy here at the Defense Department,” he continued. “So, in accordance with the policy now reinstated, service members who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with gender dysphoria may elect to separate voluntarily.”
Hegseth referenced the timeline as set forth in an earlier memo and noted that the separation will become “involuntarily if necessary” once the period has passed.
“This is the president’s agenda,” he stated. “This is what the American people voted for, and we’re going to continue to relentlessly pursue it.”
“Service by individuals with a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibiting symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria is not in the best interest of the Military Services and is not clearly consistent with the interests of national security,” Hegseth said in the Thursday memo on the 30 day opportunity for the transgenders to voluntarily leave.
“In accordance with policy now reinstated, Service members who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria may elect to separate voluntarily; such Service members may also be eligible for voluntary separation pay,” the memo reads. “The eligibility window to self-identify for voluntary separation is extended to June 6, 2025, for Active Component Service members and July 7, 2025, for Reserve Component Service members.”
Hegseth has made it his mission to rid the military of the “woke” ideology and left-wing culture that was allowed to fester under his predecessor Lloyd Austin, the diverse Raytheon board member picked by disgraced ex-President Joe Biden to implement his extreme agenda, sacrificing readiness and warfighting for the promotion of transgenderism, critical race theory and other tenets of Democrat dogma.
“We are leaving wokeness and weakness behind. No more pronouns. No more climate change obsession. No more emergency vaccine mandates. No more dudes in dresses. We’re done with that sh*t,” the Defense Secretary said on Tuesday in remarks at Special Operations Forces Week 2025 in Tampa, FL.

“Consistent with the military mission and longstanding DoD policy, expressing a false “gender identity” divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service. Beyond the hormonal and surgical medical interventions involved, adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual’s sex conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life. A man’s assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement that others honor this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member,” Trump stated in his January 27 executive order.
