Overview

  • U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes issued an injunction halting the Trump administration's transgender military ban, calling it discriminatory and unjustified.
  • The Trump administration has revised the policy to apply only to individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria, claiming it ensures military readiness.
  • An emergency hearing is scheduled for March 21, 2025, to address the administration's request to dissolve the injunction.
  • The Pentagon had planned to begin separating transgender service members on March 28, pending the outcome of legal proceedings.
  • Judge Reyes highlighted that transgender troops demonstrate higher readiness levels than cisgender counterparts with depression, who are allowed to serve.
