A US appeals court has ruled that transgender service members currently in the military cannot be removed, but it allows restrictions on new transgender recruits. The split decision preserves the positions of serving troops while permitting limits on enlistment as legal challenges to the policy continue. The ruling is a partial victory for opponents of removal efforts and keeps the broader dispute over transgender military service unresolved.
