The Supreme Court allows Trump to implement the ban on transgender military services for the moment

The United States Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that the Trump administration could go ahead with the ban on members of the transgender military service for the moment, raising an injunction of the court less than a policy after a judge judged that it was an “unattainted, dramatic and unfair” policy of exclusion “.

The court did not explain its decision other than to say that the order would expire if the judges finally resumed the case on the merits and issue a decision bringing it together.

The dispute continues before the American Court of Appeal for the ninth circuit.

Judges Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson said they would have denied Trump’s stay.

During Trump’s first term, the High Court took a similar course, raising an injunction against the ban on transgender soldiers after being disputed. President Joe Biden has ended politics and thousands of army transgender members have provided active service over the past four years.

The Pentagon estimated that more than 4,200 members of active services have a diagnosis of gender dysphoria which is the military metric to follow the number of transgender troops. The advocacy groups have put the real number of members of the much higher trans service, around 15,000.

The decision of the Supreme Court means that soldiers can begin to unload the soldiers who are transgender and cease the enrollment of transgender people.

The Trump administration argued that the president was due to a large deference in the management of the army and to shape the force, supervising its policy as a “medical” exclusion. General solicitor John Sauer said that gender dysphoria presented problems for the cohesion and lethality of the unit; Two federal judges found little evidence in support of these complaints.

At the end of April, the Trump administration made a new emergency request to request an immediate stay of a national injunction blocking the ban on members of the transgender military service openly.

The judge of the Circuit Court Benjamin Settle, a candidate of George W. Bush, during the publication of the preliminary injunction in the case on March 27, had written the policy of the Trump administration on transgender soldiers would be a “prohibition of de facto coverage” which seeks “to eliminate the transgender service”.

The case was deposited by a group of seven transgender soldiers and a transgender person who wishes to enlist in the body of the United States.

In a statement, defenders of the seven soldiers in active service who brought the trial qualified the decision as a “devastating blow”.

“By allowing this discriminatory prohibition to take effect while our dispute continues, the court has temporarily sanctioned a policy which has nothing to do with military preparation and everything to do with prejudices,” said Lambda Legal and the foundation of the human rights campaign which ensure the legal representation of transgender troops.

“Transgender people meet the same standards and demonstrate the same values ​​as all those who serve. We remain firmly in our conviction that this prohibition violates the constitutional guarantees of equal protection and will ultimately be canceled,” said the foundation.

During a trip to Stuttgart, Germany, in February, in February, the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, was asked by a member of the United States US African order service why “four exceptional transgender soldiers” that he had served during the years of Severn were to be deleted.

Hegseth replied: “It is a continuous journal, with our foot forward on preparation and deployment, preparation and deployment, what we have examined. And there are a number of scientific ways that you can explain this letter on the reasons why there are complications with trans soldiers in this preparation and its deployment.”
