WASHINGTON, D.C. - The National Center for Lesbian Rights and GLBTQ Legal Advocates and Defenders filed Jane Doe 1-5 v. Trump today in U.S. District Court on behalf of five service members who challenge President Trump's ban on so-called transgender people serving in the U.S. military. The defendants are listed as President Donald Trump, Defense Secretary James Mattis and other military leaders.
Plaintiffs Jane Does 1-5 are described in the complaint as "transgender" with the female pronoun, meaning they are no doubt biological men who want to identify as women. The lawsuit claims President Trump's directive somehow violates Equal Protection and Due Process.
