WASHINGTON – Theย Supreme Courtย on Tuesday allowed President Donald Trumpโs administration to enforceย a ban on transgender people in the military, while legal challenges proceed.
The court acted in the dispute over aย policyย that presumptively disqualifies transgender people from military service.
The courtโs three liberal justices said they would have kept the policy on hold.
Just after beginning his second term in January, Trump moved aggressively to roll backย the rights of transgender people.
Among the Republican presidentโs actions was an executive order that claims the sexual identity of transgender service members โconflicts with a soldierโs commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in oneโs personal lifeโ and is harmful to military readiness.
