Armed Forces Transgender Dependent Protection Act
This bill expands the policy of the Office of Special Needs within the Department of Defense to address transgender dependents. Specifically, the bill codifies the definition of a medical or educational special need to include gender dysphoria.

A member who is serving at a location when such a law is established may elect to be reassigned.
