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 violated their constitutional right to equal protection, allowing some plaintiffs to continue service. The 2-1 decision, issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia, upheld a lower court ruling and found the policy arbitrary and based on animus. The case, Talbott et al v. Trump, involves eight active-duty service members and others seeking enlistment.
