John Sauer argued that maintaining the current policy, which the military views as detrimental to readiness, is untenable. This effort follows a federal appeals court order that temporarily blocks the ban. Previous court rulings have acknowledged concerns from transgender service members regarding discrimination and reputational harm. Critics, including District Judge Benjamin Settle, spotlight the lack of evidence supporting the ban's necessity.
