Republican members of Congress are proposing a bill that would bar people with gender dysphoria from serving in the military, with few exceptions.

The bill, called Ensuring Military Readiness Act of 2023, is largely built on policies during President Donald Trump’s first term. President Joe Biden overturned those policies with an executive order shortly after his inauguration, allowing people who identify as transgender or experience gender dysphoria to serve openly in their preferred gender.
