Some trans military members banned by Trump allowed to continue service under ruling

A federal appeals court ruled that a Trump administration policy banning transgender military members from service violates their constitutional right to equal protection, allowing some plaintiffs to continue serving. The 2-1 decision found the policy 'arbitrary and based upon animus,' while a dissent argued the military can restrict rights differently than civilians. The preliminary injunction applies only to the case's plaintiffs and does not block the policy for all transgender service members or enlistees.
