Transgender Vets Sue Military Over Denial of Retirement Benefits Ahead of Veterans Day

Seventeen transgender US military veterans have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging that they were denied retirement benefits due to their gender identity. The suit comes ahead of Veterans Day and targets members of the Air Force and Space Force who served for at least 15 years. The plaintiffs claim that the denial of benefits is discriminatory and violates federal law. They are seeking damages and reinstatement of their retired pay.
