• February 6th 2025 GRACE in Business Insider discussing the transgender military ban.

  • Kupec said the Trump order seeks to "spread falsehoods and to dehumanize the community because it's not based in reality, it's not based in medical evidence, it's not based in the lived experience of people who are serving our country."

• January 28th 2025 GRACE in Mother Jones speaking about the transgender military ban.

  • Kupec argues that those in the Trump administration who are pushing for a trans military ban “don’t know the first transgender sailor, soldier, marine or airman. Some of the best and brightest people serving our country are transgender, on active duty right now, and have been serving for 10 to 20 years,” she says. “To remove them based only on their gender doesn’t demonstrate our values of liberty and justice for all.”
