The Human Rights Campaign Foundation and Lambda Legal are advocating against the Trump administration's attempt to reinstate a ban on transgender military service. They label the policy discriminatory and unconstitutional, urging the Supreme Court to reject the administration's emergency request to lift a nationwide injunction against the ban. The filing mentions U.S. Navy Commander Emily Shilling, a distinguished service member and first transgender aviator cleared for tactical operations, highlighting the irrationality of the ban amidst concerns for constitutional rights and military efficacy.
Let's be clear about an undeniable truth: transgender servicemembers have earned their place in our military through hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and merit.
The administration cannot demonstrate that continuing to allow patriotic and selfless transgender troops to serve our country diminishes our military in any way.
