Staff Sergeant Nicholas Bear Bade is a transgender military service member who, along with Master Sergeant Logan Ireland, is suing the Trump administration over its ban on transgender individuals serving in the military. Both men, who have transitioned from female to male, argue that the executive orders not only jeopardize their military careers but also subject them to discriminatory treatment based on their gender identity. The lawsuit highlights their longstanding service and the constitutional rights they claim are being violated by the military’s policies.
