The Supreme Court confirms Trump’s ban on transgender military members, while making calls: NPR

The Supreme Court of the United States allowed the Trump government on Tuesday, at least for the time being to carry out its ban on members of the Transgender military service. The judges blocked a present court regulation that temporarily hired the enforcement of the ban.

The three liberals of the court stated that they had denied the application.

Shortly after President Trump was sworn in for the second time, he signed an executive regulation in which transgender people serve the military.

The Ministry of Defense Prohibition of transgender persons immediately to include and relieve soldiers for active services.

The new politics is based on an earlier transgender military ban, which was set up during the first Trump government. The Supreme Court allowed this controversial Trump policy in 2019, but it was reversed by President Biden shortly after taking office.

This time, however, by entering transgender service members of the active service, it continues in addition to the ban on its attitude than the guideline that was issued during the first Trump management. The justification for the ban has also changed.

Instead of explicitly prohibiting all members of the transgender service from the military, the Department of Defense “Gender Dysphoria”-the “pronounced” incongruence “between the experienced gender of a person and their gender assigned at birth, discussed people from military service.

After the PentagonAbout 0.2% of the US military members experience gender -specific dysphoria.

The challenge for the ban was brought along by a group of current and emerging transgender service members, including the senior plaintiff Emily Schilling, a naval pilot who flew more than 60 fighter missions over her almost two decades. The group argued that the prohibition refused their constitutional law for the same protection of the law.

The government countered because the guidelines of the Pentagon were directed to those with gender dysphoria as a “medical illness” instead of aiming directly, instead of aiming directly, the ban did not discriminate on the basis of their transgender status.

Judge Benjamin Settle, a George W. Bush, who serves in the state of Washington, rejected this argument. He called the guideline “a flat -rate ban on the transgender service”. And he temporarily blocked the administration to enforce the directive while he further thought about.

Settle said that the government could not hide behind its claim that the ban on people with gender dysphoria was different from the ban on someone because they are transgender. “Common Sense” showed that they were in the same, he said.

A Federal Court of Appeal in San Francisco refused to intervene, and the Trump government then appealed to the Supreme Court and applied for the reinstatement of the ban.

In response to this, the service members claimed that the ban was unconstitutional because it was motivated by the hostility to transgender people. In addition, they quoted studies that were previously carried out by the Ministry of Defense and the military, which indicates that members of the Transgender Service do not pose a threat to national security. The conclusion that you claim was repeated by four years of experience with transgender people in the military during the bidges.

On Tuesday, however, the Supreme Court decided in favor of the Trump administration and at least initially allowed it with its anti-transcation ban. The order is a strong indicator that the administration will probably be predominated.

In a statement on Tuesday, Lambda Legal and Human Rights Campaign, the groups who received the lawsuit on behalf of the service members described the “decision … a devastating blow for transgender services”.

“By getting into force that this discriminatory ban comes into force while our contestation continues, the court has temporarily approved a policy that has nothing to do with military readiness and all prejudices,” said the groups in an explanation.
