US Supreme Court Greenlights Trump’s Trans Military Ban, Allowing Discharges, Enlistment Block

In a 6–3 decision, the US Supreme Court has reinstated Donald Trump’s controversial ban on transgender individuals serving in the military. The ruling allows the Pentagon to discharge troops diagnosed with gender dysphoria and reject new enlistees unless they serve in their birth Sex and forego transitioning. This reversal follows Trump’s January executive order and strikes down protections restored during Biden's tenure. The policy has sparked outrage among LGBTQ+ advocates, reigniting debates on civil rights, military readiness, and the limits of executive power under the Constitution. #TrumpBan #TransMilitaryBan #SCOTUSRuling #LGBTQRights #GenderDysphoria #USMilitary #Trump2025 #CivilRights #TransRights #MilitaryPolicy #LGBTQBan #SupremeCourt #TrumpOrder #PentagonBan #GenderPolitics #DiscriminationAlert #ExecutiveOrder #TransSoldiers #BanBacklash #USNews Also Read Anaya Bangar Calls Out 'Toxic Masculinity' Of Cricketers: 'Sent Me Nudes After My Gender-Affirming Surgery' :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/anaya-bangar-calls-out-toxic-masculinity-of-cricketers-sent-me-nudes-after-my-gender-affirming-s-4127391.html?ref=DMDesc Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administration From Banning Transgender People From Military Service :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/federal-judge-blocks-trump-administration-from-banning-transgender-people-from-military-service-4098779.html?ref=DMDesc US Army Bars Transgender People From Enlisting In Military With Immediate Effect :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-army-bars-transgender-people-from-enlisting-in-military-with-immediate-effect-4071757.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.122~
