The article discusses the situation of Kate Cole, a transgender U.S. Army Sergeant First Class who, along with other trans service members, is suing the Trump Administration after it announced an Executive Order banning transgender individuals from serving openly in the military. The order expands upon a previous directive from 2017, which prohibited trans people from enlisting. Organizations like the National Center for Lesbian Rights and GLAD Law filed a lawsuit asserting that the ban violates equal protection. Cole expresses her dedication to serving the military and her fear of being discharged due to this new policy.
"It's my life. I enjoy the work I do. I like working with the people I work with. The Army is my community."
"The Executive Order would cut Cole and other trans service members from their jobs... It's an expansion of a similar directive from President Donald Trump in 2017."
