Three federal judges had ruled against the ban.In the case the justices acted on Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Benjamin Settle in Tacoma, Washington, had ruled for seven long-serving transgender military members who say that the ban is insulting and discriminatory and that their firing would cause lasting damage to their careers and reputations.

Empowerment is also a theme, rejecting codependence and embracing self-love on “By Myself.”“The song that defines me the most is ‘By Myself.’ I wrote that one literally because I was going through a situation verbatim, and I was like I don’t wanna feel like anybody else is so crucial for me to be the best version of me — I can’t live like that,” she said. “All of the answers can’t come from anyone else … I’m so big on the inner work and therapy and growing emotionally.”
