17名变性者空军成员因退休福利损失而被起诉,尽管服务年限已满,但仍被拒绝全薪解雇。 Seventeen transgender Air Force members sued over lost retirement benefits after being denied discharge with full pay despite years of service.

17名变性者空军成员于2025年11月12日起诉美国政府, 指控军方非法撤销其提前退休金, Seventeen transgender Air Force members sued the U.S. government on November 12, 2025, alleging the military unlawfully revoked their early retirement benefits after denying them retirement following 15 to 18 years of service. 诉讼质疑一项政策改变,该改变将没有退休金或健康福利的变性者服务成员分开,尽管事先批准退休。 The lawsuit challenges a policy change that separates transgender service members without retirement pay or health benefits, despite prior approval for retirement. 律师说,受影响的个人可能丧失高达200万美元的终身福利。 Advocates say the affected individuals could lose up to $2 million in lifetime benefits. 该政策与特朗普政府限制变性兵役的更广泛努力相关,最高法院允许在正在进行的法律审查中继续实行这一政策。 The policy is linked to broader efforts under the Trump administration to restrict transgender military service, which the Supreme Court has allowed to remain in effect during ongoing legal reviews. 五角大楼没有发表评论,空军禁止变性人向同侪审查委员会对分离决定提出上诉,这项行动目前正在整个军队中执行。 The Pentagon has not commented, and the Air Force has barred transgender personnel from appealing separation decisions before peer review boards, a move now being implemented across the military.
