In a victory for Trump, the 9th Circuit ordered a judge to reconsider a ruling against the president's transgender ban in the military.
Demonstrators walk past the White House during the Equality March for Unity and Peace on June 11, 2017 in Washington, D.C. Thousands around the country participated in marches for the LGBTQ communities, the central march taking place in Washington.
Gay rights lawyers who brought the case nevertheless said the ruling contained statements helpful to their challenge. The court held that the ban targets transgender people and must be analyzed through that lensIt also made clear that the district court was entitled to evaluate this discriminatory policy through a full presentation of the facts, which we are eager to make,” said Lambda Legal lawyer Sharon McGowan.
The president later revoked the 2017 decision and replaced it with a policy based on a 44-page report that addressed a medical condition — gender dysphoria — rather than transgender status. That policy was issued by former Secretary of Defense James N. Mattis. The 2018 policy followed a study by a panel of military experts that met 13 times over a period of 90 days, the judges noted, and “appears to have been the product of independent military judgment.”
