Fit to Serve Act
S 2006, the Fit to Serve Act, prohibits the U.S. military from discriminating against service members or applicants based on gender identity. It directly affects all current and prospective members of the Armed Forces by banning specific discriminatory actions, including denying medically necessary health care, requiring service in a sex assigned at birth, or separating members due to gender identity (including gender dysphoria diagnosis). The bill amends Title 10 of the U.S. Code to add new protections, explicitly stating that the military cannot deny service, reenlistment, or health coverage based on gender identity. These changes apply uniformly across all branches and service statuses, ensuring equal treatment under military policy.
