Today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision is deeply disappointing and harmful to transgender individuals.

The government's arguments are not persuasive, and it is not an especially close question on this record. The government's unrelenting reliance on deference to military judgment is unjustified in the absence of any evidence supporting "the military's" new judgment reflected in the Military Ban—in its equally considered and unquestionable judgment, that very same military had only the week before permitted active-duty plaintiffs (and some thousands of others) to serve openly. Any evidence that such service over the past four years harmed any of the military's inarguably critical aims would be front and center. But there is none.
