US court blocks Trump ban on transgenders in the military

Washington: A US judge on Monday blocked US President Donald Trump’s ban on transgenders serving in the US military.

US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ordered the government to “revert to the status quo” that was in effect before Trump’s June 30 executive order banning transgenders from serving in the military.

At the same time, however, she dismissed the plaintiffs’ motion to block a ban on funding for sex reassignment surgery.
