The Donald Trump administration has urged the US Supreme Court to allow enforcement of a ban on transgender people in the military.
The ban could not take effect for many months without an order from the country’s apex court, said Solicitor General D John Sauer.
“A period far too long for the military to be forced to maintain a policy that it has determined, in its professional judgment, to be contrary to military readiness and the nation’s interests,” Sauer wrote, reported Associated Press.
The court filing comes after a brief from a federal appeals court that kept in place a court order blocking the policy nationwide.

The Solicitor General said, at the least, the court should allow the ban to take effect nationwide, except for the seven service members and one aspiring member of the military who sued.
The court has given a week’s time to the lawyers for the service members challenging the ban to respond.
Trump’s Stand On Transgender
The US President moved aggressively to roll back the rights of transgender people just after beginning his second term at the White House.
Among the actions taken by the Republican president was an executive order that claims the sexual identity of transgender service members “conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honourable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life” and is harmful to military readiness.

In response, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a policy that presumptively disqualifies transgender people from military service.
However, in March, a district court judge in Washington ruled for several long-serving transgender military members who said that the ban is insulting and discriminatory and that their firing would cause lasting damage to their careers and reputations.
