Hi, many thanks for your question. If you are already serving the Army will support you through transitioning and there are transgender personnel serving. If you are looking to join the army you must meet the same mental and physical entry standards as any other candidate. If you have completed transition you will be treated as an individual of your affirmed gender. Every trade is now open to all regardless of gender. I hope this helps and good luck.
