1. On 06 May 2025, the Supreme Court of the United States granted

the U.S. Government's requested stay of the preliminary injunction

in Shilling v. United Sates. Therefore, in accordance with REF (A)

and in alignment with REFs (B) and (C), the Coast Guard is resuming

implementation of the transgender service policy guidance announced

in REF (E). REF (F) is canceled.

2. Effective immediately, all new enlisted and officer accessions

for individuals with a history of gender dysphoria, as well as all

unscheduled, scheduled, or planned medical procedures associated

with affirming or facilitating a gender transition for Service

members, are paused.

3. For the purposes of this guidance, these procedures include

unscheduled, scheduled, or planned genital reconstruction surgery

associated with gender transition, gender affirming surgery, sex

reassignment surgery, or newly initiated gender‐affirming hormone

therapy.

4. The Service remains engaged with the Department of Defense

to ensure alignment and clarity as transgender service policy

continues to evolve. The Coast Guard recognizes the service and

commitment of all personnel, including those with a diagnosis or

history of gender dysphoria. All members will continue to be treated

with dignity and respect.

(PDIT‐P) SharePoint site below hosts FAQ's for all Executive Orders

impacting Coast Guard Personnel for which OPM and DHS have issued

guidance. Personnel should check these FAQs frequently as they will
