What it does
The Fit to Serve Act would amend title 10 of the United States Code to prohibit discrimination in the Armed Forces based on gender identity, including discrimination related to gender dysphoria. It would bar the military from using gender identity as a basis for setting service qualifications, involuntary separation, denial of medically necessary health care, requiring service in one’s sex assigned at birth, or denying accession, reenlistment, or continuation of service. The bill defines gender identity as an individual’s gender-related identity, appearance, mannerisms, or characteristics, regardless of sex assigned at birth, and applies to all members of the Armed Forces.
