Ramaswamy said he would not reinstate Trump’s ban on service members diagnosed with gender dysphoria.
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said Sunday he would not reinstate former President Donald Trump’s ban on service members diagnosed with gender dysphoria during an interview with ABC News.
When asked if he would reinstate the “ban on transgender members of the military,” Ramaswamy responded, “I would not reinstate a ban on transgender members. I would, however, be very clear that for kids — that’s where my policies are very focused — we should not be foisting this ideology on to children.”
That comment aligns Ramaswamy with President Joe Biden, who overturned Trump’s policy on transgender persons being allowed to serve.to as a “transgender ban,” it did not ban transgender members of the military. It allowed for transgender recruits to serve as long as they served in their biological gender and did not suffer from gender dysphoria, a condition of distress when someone’s gender identity differs from their biological gender.
Trump’s policy specifically required that new transgender recruits would have to serve in their biological sex only. It allowed troops with gender dysphoria only if they were deemed stable for 36 months in their biological sex by a medical professional and were able to meet applicable standards. According to 2014 Department of Defense data, there were less than 9,000 active-duty troops considered transgender, out of an active-duty force of 1.4 million.
