Supreme Court Greenlights Trump’s Transgender Military Ban During Ongoing Lawsuits

A brief Supreme Court order lifted injunctions against President Trump’s ban on transgender troops, allowing the policy to take effect while legal battles continue. Transgender service members and recruits now face discharge or denial unless they serve in their “biological sex” without having transitioned. LGBTQ+ activists call it a devastating setback for the estimated 15,000 trans personnel serving openly since 2016, but the Court’s conservative majority offered no written explanation. Legal experts say it’s not a final ruling; the policy could be overturned later. For now, the Pentagon will implement the ban, creating widespread uncertainty for thousands of troops.
