- The Trump administration requested the U.S. Supreme Court to implement a ban on transgender individuals serving in the military.
- The Justice Department claimed that a court order undermined executive authority and threatened military effectiveness.
- LGBT rights groups condemned the request as discriminatory, citing the honorable service of transgender troops.
- The Supreme Court is expected to rule on another transgender rights case by the end of June.
A man's assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement that others honor this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member.— Trump's executive order regarding transgender military service.
