Supreme Court lets Trump's transgender military ban take effect

Washington Examiner
Summary
On May 6, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the enforcement of the Trump administration's ban on transgender individuals in the military while legal challenges progress. This policy could expel experienced service members, prompting significant criticism as it lacks justifications for its reinstatement. A federal district court had previously ruled against the ban, considering it discriminatory. Advocacy groups, including Lambda Legal, have denounced the ruling as prejudiced and harmful to military cohesion. The LGBTQ community argues the ban contradicts the principle of equal protection, while the case now proceeds in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
