US Court Rules Military Ban on Transgender Personnel Unconstitutional
Share:
A US federal court has declared a ban on transgender individuals serving in the military unconstitutional. Judge Wilkins ruled that the prohibition was motivated solely by a desire to harm a politically unpopular group, rather than legitimate military concerns. The decision faced dissent from Judge Justin Walker, who argued in a minority opinion that judges lack the authority to challenge decisions regarding the exclusion of transgender personnel from military service.
