For example, under President Biden, \u200byou can&#8217;t serve with a peanut allergy,&#8221; Rubio noted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Biden has turned our military into a woke social experiment. It is a stupid way to go about protecting our nation. We need to spend more time thinking about how to counter threats like \u200dChina, Russia, and \u2064North Korea and less time thinking about pronouns,&#8221; the senator\u2062 said.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio&#8217;s amendment would\u2064 require the secretary of defense to issue a regulation disqualifying all individuals who identify\u2063 as transgender or have\u2063 a history \u2062or have been \u2062diagnosed with gender dysphoria \u200cfrom\u200c serving \u200bin the military.
