Pentagon Mandates Testosterone Screening for Service Members Aged 30 and Older
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the Pentagon will incorporate testosterone deficiency screenings into annual health assessments. The policy includes recommendations for hormone therapy when levels fall below thresholds. Hegseth stated the initiative will screen male troops to identify those who may benefit from treatment. Critics on social media argued that providing hormone treatments to male service members constitutes a form of gender affirming care. These observers claimed the policy contradicts Republican opposition to similar medical treatments for transgender individuals.
