Summary
Six active duty transgender service members and two former members filed a lawsuit against Trump’s executive order banning transgender troops.
The order, signed Monday, claims transgender identity conflicts with military values and readiness.
Plaintiffs argue the ban is unconstitutional and discriminatory, with legal groups including NCLR and GLAD challenging it in court.
The Pentagon stated it will implement Trump’s directive.
Unlike the 2017 ban, this order also targets currently serving transgender personnel, raising concerns over an exodus of experienced military members.
They also signed contracts and have not done anything that would constitute a breach of contract. So firing them would be a breach of contract on the military’s side requiring a buyout of their contract.
That’s not really how that works for the military. You can be separated for “convenience of the government”.
