Logan Ireland and Staff Sgt. Nicholas Bear Bade are likely to prevail on equal protection grounds by showing they have been singled out due to their sex and the defendants cannot justify the differential treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe loss of military service under the stigma of a policy that targets gender identity is not merely a loss of employment; it is a profound disruption of personal dignity, medical continuity, and public service,\u201d O\u2019Hearn wrote in an order granting a 14-day restraining order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon deferred comment on the ruling to the Justice Department, which did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both men have already been put on administrative leave, Ireland from a training program at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey and Bade from a deployment in Kuwait, the order said. Ireland has more than 14 years of service, with deployments in Afghanistan, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates, while Bade has served for more than six years. Both men have won numerous awards and medals, according to court files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPlaintiffs\u2019 involuntary loss of decorated military status, military healthcare, and the ability to serve their country under a policy they have faithfully abided by for years cannot be repaired by monetary damages,\u201d said O\u2019Hearn, who was appointed by President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Jan. 27, Trump signed an executive order that claims the sexual identity of transgender service members \u201cconflicts with a soldier\u2019s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one\u2019s personal life\u201d and is harmful to military readiness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal judge in New Jersey has issued a temporary ban on the removal of two transgender men from the Air
