A friend of Jaysley Beck has said sexual abuse in the Army is still going on years after the former Royal Artillery gunner's death. The body of the 19-year-old was found in a locker room at Wiltshire's Larkhill Camp in 2021. She had been subjected to relentless harassment from her line manager, Bombardier Ryan Mason, an inquest was told. Beck had also filed a complaint against Battery Sergeant Major Michael Webber who "pinned her down" and tried to kiss her at a work social. Former soldier Tamzin Hort compared being a woman in the Army to being "a piece of meat in a tank of sharks" and that "people get sexually assaulted left, right and centre, but nothing's done about it".

The US Army has implemented an immediate ban on transgender recruits and halted all gender transition-related procedures for service members. This follows President Donald Trump’s executive order mandating adherence to biological Sex in the military. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has also eliminated DEI programs, emphasizing unity over diversity. The move reverses Biden’s 2021 repeal of Trump’s earlier ban. Advocacy groups estimate 15,000 transgender individuals serve in the military, though official reports suggest the number is much lower. Trump has also ended federal support for gender transition procedures for minors
