According to the allegations, a unit at the Fort processed the paperwork of a biological male, reregistered him as a female, and placed him in the female barracks. “Erasing the distinction between men and women hurts military readiness and places progressive gender experimentation ahead of warfighting,” the Senator wrote. Senator Hawley called on Secretary Austin to immediately ensure that biological men and women are housed separately in the appropriate barracks. “Military readiness is suffering because of your progressive social agenda,” he concluded. Read the full letter here or below. Honorable Lloyd J. Austin III Secretary of Defense U.S. Department of Defense 1000 Defense Pentagon Washington, D.C. 20301-1000 Secretary Austin, My office has received a whistleblower report claiming that a biological male has been living in the women’s barracks at Fort Leonard Wood in my state of Missouri. Department of Defense rules promulgated during your tenure permit men to reside in women’s barracks. This is totally unacceptable. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z |
