A new GOP House bill is seeking to turn President Donald Trump’s executive order that bans transgender troops in the Armed Forces into a permanent federal law.
Alabama Rep. Barry Moore, a Republican, will introduce legislation this week while being in contact with the Trump administration, according to Fox News Digital.
“What we had with this trans movement was we had a bunch of people coming in, signing a six-year contract, and then starting the surgeries and starting the hormone replacements … they weren’t fit for service, so they spent four or five years on the taxpayer’s dime getting these surgeries and these chemicals and all this stuff, and then by the time they could really actually serve, they were ready to get out,” Moore told Fox News Digital.
Moore, who is a veteran, added that the bill would benefit both taxpayers in funding the military and overall recruitment to the armed forces.
“I think in many ways the taxpayers get a much bigger bang for their buck, No. 1,” Moore told Fox News. “And No. 2, I think that if I’m looking at joining, these guys are really focused on fighting, and if I’m in the foxhole with these guys, these are people I’ve trained with, they’re capable. You’ve got to have that on a battlefield.”
A source close to Moore’s office showed Fox News Digital an email that suggested approval of the bill from the White House Office of Management and Budget, Pentagon, Department of Homeland Security and National Security Council.
Moore’s bill is named the Readiness Over Wokeness Act, according to draft legislation previewed by Fox News Digital. The bill would “prohibit individuals with gender dysphoria from serving as members of the Armed Forces.”
It would enact a similar ban on people with “a history of gender-affirming care including cross-sex hormone therapy or sex reassignment or genital reconstruction surgery as treatment for gender dysphoria or in pursuit of a sex transition.”
