Trump moves Supreme Court over transgender issues in the military

The U.S. government under President Donald Trump has appealed to the Supreme Court regarding the discharge of transgender individuals from the military. The Department of Defense issued a directive in 2025 to exclude transgender people from military service at Trump's request, which was initially blocked by lower courts. The case now seeks a Supreme Court decision to remove transgender personnel from service before a final ruling. A lower court ruled that excluding transgender individuals violates constitutional principles of equal treatment. The administration called this ruling a 'serious misjudgment,' arguing that the military's authority over who serves is of extraordinary importance. Trump has consistently supported the exclusion of transgender individuals from the military, claiming they are being undermined by a 'radical gender ideology.'
