This bill would most directly affect two groups of Americans: those currently serving in the Armed Forces and individuals considering military service. Current service members who have a diagnosis or history of gender dysphoria, or who have received gender-affirming care, would face administrative discharge, meaning they would be forced to leave the military.

Prospective military recruits with a history of gender dysphoria or gender-affirming care would be barred from enlisting. This would limit their career options and impact their ability to serve their country through military service.
