(Press Release) Rep. Barry Moore (AL-01) introduced the Readiness Over Wokeness Act.
This legislation will codify President Trump’s Executive Order that reversed a Biden Administration policy of allowing transgender individuals to serve in the military.
Cosponsors include Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13), Harriet Hageman (WY-AL), Warren Davidson (OH-08), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14), and Andrew Clyde (GA-09).
The Readiness Over Wokeness Act will prohibit anyone who has a current diagnosis or history of symptoms consistent with gender dysphoria, or who has received or is receiving gender affirming care, from serving in the armed forces.
Rep. Moore’s bill also directs the Secretary of Defense to conduct a reinvestigation of the eligibility for access to classified information once separation from the Armed Forces occurs.
“The American people deserve a fighting force that is capable and prepared at any moment to address and deter risks to our nation,” said Rep. Moore.
“Serving in the military requires the ability to sustain high mental and physical standards. Transgender people have medical, surgical, and mental health concerns that limit their ability to sustain these standards.”
“I am proud to introduce this bill to codify President Trump’s Executive Order to ensure the woke insanity that occurred under the Biden Administration no longer compromises our military strength and readiness.”
