The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday temporarily allowed the Trump administration’s ban on transgender military members to take effect. The measure will be enforced while legal challenges are resolved. In response to a slew of anti-trans executive orders signed by Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in February ordered an immediate ban on transgender military recruits and halted all gender-affirming medical procedures for active-duty military. Hegseth also issued a policy giving the military 30 days to identify trans service members and remove them from their positions. In response to the Supreme Court’s decision, Hegseth said on social media, “No More Trans @ DoD…No more dudes in dresses. We’re done with that shit.”
