The U.S. Court of Appeals has banned the Pentagon from firing transgender people.

The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the Pentagon has no right to remove transgender people from military service (the LGBT movement is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation). The relevant ruling was published on the court's website on June 1.

"Only the executive branch and Congress are responsible for making system—wide military decisions regarding the composition of the armed forces," the Court of Appeals concluded.

According to the judges, the ban imposed by the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, on people who have made sexual transition is based "solely on the desire to harm a politically unpopular group." At the same time, the decree applies only to those employees who are already in military service and does not apply to future recruitment into the US army.

On January 13, Hegseth announced that "dudes in dresses" would no longer interfere with the American army. According to Hegseth, the U.S. Army needs to get rid of trash and distractions. He proclaimed the rejection of the policy of "inclusivity, equality and diversity" in the ranks of the American army.

On June 1, Sean Parnell, the United States Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and Chief Secretary of the Pentagon, rejected accusations of gender bias in military promotions, saying that employees with the necessary qualifications receive promotions at the US Department of War. According to Parnell, promotion decisions will never be made based on a serviceman's skin color or gender.
