The judge wrote he was "not persuaded in the least" by the DOJ's rationale for needing the information.

Last week, A4TE filed a brief in both cases, using historical examples of discrimination to show how current anti-trans bans are unconstitutional. We're proud to speak out for trans youth everywhere—ALL students deserve a chance to play.

Trans people have always played an important role in strengthening our military and defending our country. Trump's targeting of trans service members does not change the truth of their bravery.

Across centuries of wars, bans, and battles for recognition, trans military members have answered the call. Now they're fighting for their right to do so.
