The brief decision of the Supreme Court did not specify authorship, but three liberal judges – Sonia Somayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson – have publicly disagreed with the decision.
Lambda Legal and Human Rights Campaign Foundation, which represent the plaintiffs, named the Supreme Court’s decision “a devastating blow to the transgender military who have already proven their ability and dedication to the nation’s protection.”
The White House Prescribe, Caroline, Levitt called Trump’s “huge victory”, stating that he and the Defense Minister Pete Hegset “restore the army focused on readiness and combat capability, not on Dei (diversity, equality and inclusion) or gender.”
According to the US Department of Defense, in 2019, up to 8,000 transgender persons served before the first ban of Trump in the army.
It should be noted that The Independent in November wrote that Trump would sign a decree releasing transgender servicemen from the army on the first day of his stay in office.
At the beginning of November, the US Department of Representatives chose the first open transgender man – Sarah MacBride Democrat.
And on December 23, Trump stated that he would fight “gender madness”, and emphasized that the United States Government would officially “recognize only two sexes – male and female.”
Thus, on January 20, Trump signed a decree canceling a provision that allowed transgender servicemen to serve in the army.
