US Supreme Court Allows Trump’s Ban On Trans Troops To Take Effect

The US Supreme Court has allowed President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender military personnel to take effect during ongoing litigation, potentially leading to the dismissal of thousands of troops.
The decision drew opposition from the court’s three liberal justices and criticism from LGBTQ+ organizations, which called it a blow to transgender servicemembers.
The ruling supports Trump’s efforts to roll back transgender rights in the military, reversing policies enacted during the Obama and Biden administrations.
Approximately 4,240 transgender troops diagnosed with gender dysphoria could be affected, with the Pentagon enforcing removal unless waivers are obtained.
