Transgender soldiers serving in the Israel Defense Forces report that explicit regulations meant to protect their rights are routinely ignored, leading to repeated violations and exclusion from certain roles. Despite policies guaranteeing separate sleeping quarters and shower schedules, many soldiers say these measures are not enforced, leaving them feeling marginalized and unsupported. Personal accounts reveal that some were denied combat roles or reassigned due to their gender identity, often after being labeled with adjustment difficulties by mental health officers. Surveys show a significant portion of transgender and nonbinary soldiers feel a lack of belonging, and many choose to hide their identities during service. Advocacy groups and affected individuals are calling for better enforcement of existing regulations and greater sensitivity from the system, emphasizing that the current approach fails to meet the needs of transgender personnel.
