A group of transgender service members and rights groups file a lawsuit against the President Donald Trump’s Restrictions on transgender troops in the army.
It Demand, Filed on behalf of six members of the Transgenere Active Service Service by Glad Law and the National Center for Lesbices (NCLR), he argues that the new executive order violates the Equality Guarantees of the United States Constitution.
Filed in the North -American District Court for the Columbia District, the lawsuit claims that the six members of the transgender service would lose access to health and retirement benefits as a result of the executive order.
“When you get uniform, the differences fall and what is important is your ability to do the job,” said the second lieutenant of the army Nicolas Talbott, called the demand for demand: Talbott v. Trump.
The new order, signed by Trump on Monday evening, requires the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth To update medical standards to ensure that they “prioritize preparation and lethality” and take action to “end the use of invented and identification pronouns” within DOD.

He says that expressing a “gender identity” different from the sex of an individual at birth does not comply with military standards.
The order also restricting sleeping, changing and bathing facilities by biological sex. It is not an immediate ban, but a direction for the Secretary of Defense to implement these policies.
Revoke the former president Joe Biden’s The executive order that the White House argues that “it allowed special circumstances to host” gender identity “in the army – to the detriment of military preparation and unity cohesion.”
The categorical prohibition of transgender service members was raised in 2014 under President Barack Obama.
“I have been a military all my life. I was born in a military base,” said Navy Emign Dan Danridge, a student flight officer, demanding demand.
“Every day I put my boots just like everyone else. I pass the same tests as everyone else. Being transgender is irrelevant to my service. What matters is that I can complete the tasks that are critical for our mission.”
“I have spent more than half of my life in the army, including the fight in Afghanistan,” said the army’s SGT. 1st Kate Cole class. “Eliminating transgender soldiers as me means an experienced staff exodus that occupies key positions and cannot be easily replaced.”
Trump’s new order is based on another directive that he issued last week that revoked an order from Biden’s time allowing transgender people to serve the army.
