Trans troops can keep serving after appeals court blocks Hegseth's discriminatory ban

A federal appeals court blocked the Trump policy banning transgender service members, allowing some to keep serving while the case proceeds.
The ruling was a preliminary injunction in Talbott et al v. Trump, signaling the case will continue in court.
Judges Rogers and Wilkins will hear further arguments as the military policy fight unfolds in higher courts.
Advocates say the decision recognizes the capability and service of transgender troops, though broader protections remain uncertain.
The government may seek an emergency stay, and the broader impact on transgender service members is still under review.
The decision cites equal protection concerns and possible animus behind the Hegseth policy.
The ruling involves eight plaintiffs initially, with the number expanding as the case progressed.
SPARTA Pride and GLAD Law called the ruling an important relief for named plaintiffs.
The case may set legal precedent as courts consider future challenges to transgender military service bans.
The ruling comes amid ongoing nationwide debate over military policies on transgender personnel.
