五角大楼允许指挥官推翻变性士兵的退伍决定,执行出生性制服和更严格的标准。 Pentagon allows commanders to override discharge decisions for transgender troops, enforcing birth-sex uniforms and stricter standards.

五角大楼实施了一项新政策,允许指挥官推翻隔离委员会保留变性者服务成员的决定,削弱了他们上诉解职的能力。 The Pentagon has implemented a new policy that allows commanders to override separation boards' decisions to retain transgender service members, weakening their ability to appeal discharge. 该规则自10月8日起生效,要求变性者部队穿着与出生时所分配的性别相符的制服,不遵守规定可能导致缺席诉讼。 The rule, effective October 8, requires transgender troops to appear in uniforms matching their sex assigned at birth, with non-compliance potentially leading to proceedings in their absence. 这一变化与特朗普时代的行政命令有关,并得到国防部长彼得·赫格塞斯的支持,它收紧了医疗和行政标准,使得留用更加困难。 The change, tied to a Trump-era executive order and supported by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, tightens medical and administrative standards, making retention more difficult. 律师说,这破坏了正当程序和军事价值原则,而五角大楼在不断的法律挑战中并没有公开解释这一转变。 Advocates say it undermines due process and military merit principles, while the Pentagon has not publicly explained the shift amid ongoing legal challenges.
