The loss at SCOTUS is a blow. But this case will continue! Our incredible trans servicemembers deserve to serve freely and without discrimination.

Statement from Commander Emily Shilling, lead plaintiff in Shilling v. United States, on the news from the Supreme Court. We are proud to fight alongside Commander Shilling for the rights of all trans people who wish to serve.

White text on blue background that reads "Statement from Commander Emily Shilling, Lead Plaintiff, Shilling v. United States" and a photo of Commander Shilling White text on blue background that reads "the decision by the Supreme Court to stay the injunction in Shilling v. United States is a heavy blow—not just to me, but to every transgender service member who has worn the uniform with honor and integrity. We asked for clarity. We asked for stability. Instead, we received uncertainty. The protections granted by the District Court, which affirmed our right to serve openly and authentically, are now paused while this case continues its journey through the courts." white text on blue background that reads "But let me be perfectly clear: this is not defeat. This is delay. Transgender service members have served this nation with courage, skill, and selflessness for years. We’ve flown combat missions, led sailors, commanded troops, and stood watch. We are not a theory. We are not a policy debate. We are real people, doing real jobs, in defense of a nation we still believe in, even when it struggles to believe in us." white text on blue background that reads "I know this decision will cause fear and doubt in the ranks. To those feeling shaken, I say this: stand tall. You are not alone. You are part of a community that will fight for you, stand beside you, and never stop pushing forward. This case isn’t over. The truth is still on our side. And history, like it always has, will find in favor of those who choose courage over cowardice, service over exclusion, and unity over fear. We carry on and fight forward."

Now is the time to stand up for trans young people—against hate, misinformation & harmful laws.

Trans youth deserve respect, care & the freedom to live fully and authentically. We will keep fighting for a world where that’s possible.

To trans youth: You are perfect and loved exactly as you are.

We know there are more than 2 genders. Because trans and nonbinary people are here. We exist and always will. Lambda Legal is #FearlessAndFightingBack for our rights.
