One of the plaintiffs, Army Capt. Gordon Herrero, fired back in a statement Monday saying, “There’s nothing about being transgender that makes me better or worse than any other soldier I serve alongside.”

“We are all here because we are committed to our country, and we are passionate, willing, and able to serve effectively.”
