(Crankers) The US Supreme Court has temporarily permitted President Donald Trump to enforce his ban on transgender individuals serving in the military while ongoing legal challenges proceed.
Trump signed two executive orders enabling the Pentagon to implement the policy. However, a lower federal court blocked the measure, concluding that the administration had not provided sufficient evidence that transgender service members posed a threat to military effectiveness.
In an emergency appeal, the Trump administration contended that the judiciary should defer to the military’s judgment on matters of national defense. The court’s three liberal justices dissented from the decision, which was issued via an unsigned order.
Trump’s executive order stated that identifying as transgender was incompatible with “a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle” and could hinder military preparedness.
In February, the Department of Defense announced plans to discharge transgender personnel. The ban was swiftly challenged by seven service members, including Navy fighter pilot Commander Emily Schilling, and a transgender woman (a male) seeking to enlist.
The plaintiffs argued that the policy undermines military readiness, jeopardizes safety, and violates the US Constitution.
Trump and Hegseth stand united on the ban.
Trump signed an executive order that says America will recognize two sexes – male and female, and suggested that our country is not playing the silly fake pronoun game.
And honestly, that pronoun stuff needs to end. It’s pathetic brain rot kinda stuff.
