Military Families Protection: Support for Transgender Dependents
New legislation aims to protect military families whose transgender children require specialized medical care. The act prevents service members from being assigned to locations where such care is restricted, ensuring continuity of treatment and support. This provides military families with greater security, knowing their children will receive necessary assistance regardless of their duty station.
Key points
Prohibits assigning service members to locations where laws restrict medically necessary treatment for transgender dependents, unless the member chooses to be assigned there.
Allows service members to request reassignment if new restrictions on transgender medical care are enacted in their current duty location.
Expands the definition of 'medical or educational special need' in the Exceptional Family Member Program to include gender dysphoria and other chronic health/educational conditions.
