Six transgender members of The military The Trump administration sued for an executive regulation in relation to Trans -troops.
The lawsuit was submitted by six current military soldiers and two people who want to join. On Monday, President Trump signed an arrangement in which the “acceptance of a gender -specific identity with the sex conflicts of an individual with the commitment of a soldier for an honorable, truthful and disciplined lifestyle is incompatible in personal life.”
“The claim of a man that he is a woman, and his demand that others honor this falsehood, does not agree with the humility and selflessness that is required of a service member,” says humility and selflessness, “it says.
Trump explains in the order that the mission cannot be fulfilled if the military occurs “political agendas or other ideologies that damage the cohesion of the units. He also said for many years Ministry of Defense According to guidelines, service members must be free of diseases and physical defects that would require excessive treatment or hospital stay.
The “hormonal and surgical medical interventions”, if an individual claims to be a gender that differs from their gender, does not correspond to the “strict standards” required by service members, including the obligation, honorable, truthful and disciplined It is said in the order.

The progress in connection with this arrangement must be submitted by Defense Minister Pete Hegseth and the deputy head of staff for the guideline to pursue the implementation and to find recommendations in order to meet the goal of the order, the deputy chief of staff.
In the lawsuit, the arrangement is unconstitutional and violates the same protective component of the fifth change. The plaintiffs ask a federal judge in Washington, DC, to prevent him from being enforced. Fox News Digital has turned to the White house.
“Instead of based on a legitimate state purpose, the ban reflects the hostility to transgender people due to its transgender status,” claims the lawsuit.

Erica Vandal, Army SGT. First class Kate Cole, Army, Captain Gordon Herrero, Marine -Fähnrich Dany Danridge, Air Force Master Sgt. Jamie Hash, Koda Nature and Cael Neary.

“Removing qualified transgender soldiers like me means an exodus of experienced personnel that fills key positions and cannot be easily replaced, which puts the burden on the burden on which the co -soldiers are burdened,” said Cole in a statement by the National Center for Lesbian Rights (rights of the national center For lesbians (NCLR) and GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (Froy Law).
Cole noticed that she had served in the fight in Afghanistan.
Herrero said his family had a long history of military service and that “it is the only career I have persecuted”.
“There is nothing to be transgender, which makes me better or worse than any other soldier I use,” said Herrero in an explanation that accompanied the lawsuit. “We are all here because we are committed to our country and we are passionate, ready and able to serve effectively.”
The lawsuit was charged by lawyers from the National Center for Lesbian Rights and GLBTQ lawyer and defender (Froy Law).
“The law is very clear that the government cannot rely on politics on the disapproval of certain groups of people,” said Shannon Minter from the NCLR. “This is animus. Animus-based laws are considered invalid and unconstitutional.”
Trump and Hegseth have sworn to operate “Woke” initiatives in the military and to concentrate on the development of a fatal, effective fighting power without political agendas or various ideologies that are harmful to cohesion of the units.
“However, the armed forces have recently been worried with the radical gender -specific ideology to appease activists who were not affected by the requirements of military service such as physical and mental health, selflessness and unity co -acid,” says the order.
