Senate Republicans are filing amendments to the annual Pentagon policy bill that would restrict transgender people from military service and ban drag shows on military bases.
Republicans are filing amendments to the annual Pentagon policy bill that would restrict transgender people from military service and ban drag shows on military bases.
Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Republican, wants to disqualify from military service people who identify as transgender and have undergone gender reassignment surgery. He also wants to disqualify people who have a diagnosed history of gender dysphoria. Sen. Ted Budd, North Carolina Republican, proposed an amendment that would prohibit military benefits from paying for gender dysphoria treatments for family members of active duty service members. The prohibition would include hormone therapy, puberty blockers and other medical treatments for children that could result in sterilization.
“They just made a very personal case about this and said, ‘If you wall off to people in the service, the ability to get care that you can get if you’re not in the military, that in and of itself is an inequity,’” said Mr. Kaine, a Virginia Democrat on the Armed Services Committee.
