The lawsuit continues that the executive orders mean the non-commissioned officers' "future in the Air Force is in jeopardy" as they have been put on administrative leave unless they serve as their biological sex.
"It is not possible, though, for either Plaintiff to serve as a woman because each one has medically transitioned to be and live as a man," the lawsuit states.
Both service members "reasonably fear" imminent separation proceedings against them after the Trump administration issued a memorandum warning transgender troops in the Air Force and Space Force have until March 26 to resign, saying that individuals with gender dysphoria are "incompatible with the high mental and physical standards necessary for military service."
