Readiness Over Wokeness Act

This legislative proposal, known as the "Readiness Over Wokeness Act," seeks to amend title 10 of the United States Code by establishing a new prohibition on military service. It stipulates that individuals with a current diagnosis, history of, or symptoms consistent with gender dysphoria are ineligible to serve in the Armed Forces. Furthermore, those with a history of gender-affirming care , including cross-sex hormone therapy or sex reassignment surgery, would also be prohibited from service. The bill mandates that the Secretary concerned must administratively discharge any member found to be in violation of this prohibition. Importantly, members separated solely on this basis would not be required to reimburse the government for educational or other benefits, nor would they need to complete any remaining service obligations. Additionally, the Secretary of Defense would be required to conduct a reinvestigation and readjudication of security clearances for discharged members who previously held access to classified information, or revoke such eligibility if they do not participate or no longer require it.
