Trans Air Force sergeants take Trump admin to court, say it's 'not possible' to serve as women

The lawsuit continues that the executive orders mean the non-commissioned officers' "future in the Air Force is in jeopardy" as they have been put on administrative leave unless they serve as their biological sex.

"It is not possible, though, for either Plaintiff to serve as a woman because each one has medically transitioned to be and live as a man," the lawsuit states. 

"Simply put, Master Sergeant Ireland and Staff Sergeant Bade have a constitutional right not to be separated from military service based on their transgender status, a characteristic that has nothing to do with their fitness or ability to serve," the lawsuit reads.

Both service members began their gender transition more than 10 years ago and have since racked up several honorable accolades while serving in the military, court documents show. Both airmen contest that their longstanding careers will take a hit, affecting their livelihood and families, if forced to resign.

This is the third lawsuit the Trump administration has been hit with over his transgender military order, and one of at least 12 others against Trump's "two-sexes" order. The lawsuit requests the court to block Trump's order from taking effect, which if granted would add to a pile of district judges bucking several of Trump's executive orders.
