Trump's Transgender Military Ban: 5 Things You Need to Know
ACLU Filed a Lawsuit Against the Guidance Before it Takes Effect
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit in district court on Monday morning against the Trump Administration over the recent guidance.
The ACLU is representing five current United States Armed Forces personnel who identify as transgender.
"The Individual Plaintiffs and other transgender service members face immediate and irreparable harm as a result of the Transgender Service Member Ban," explained the lawsuit.
"Each Individual Plaintiff and other transgender service members suddenly face the reality that, despite their years of commitment and training, their careers will prematurely end and various benefits will be permanently unavailable."
