US district judge Ana Reyes just ruled against the Pentagon’s ban on transgender soldiers, and US defence minister Pete Hegseth rudely suggested she should report to military bases because she is now a” best military manager.”
Fuentes blocked the enforcement of US President Donald Trump’s administrative order, which forbids transgender people from serving in the US government, last week by issuing a preliminary injunction. According to the order, which was signed on January 27, it was against the law to identify as a person’s sex when comparing individual’s biological sex to discipline and standards for military service. Additionally, it gave the department of defense a deadline to upgrade its pronoun and health policies in accordance with them.
However, the judge criticized the executive order’s language, calling it “unabashedly demeaning” and claiming that it” stigmatizes trans people as inherently unfit.” Reyes argued in her decision that the policy probably lacked legal protections and put a premium on the contributions of trans service members.
Hegseth made fun of the decision on social media by posting an image on X. Since” Judge” Reyes is today a major military organizer, he wrote in his letter to Fort Benning at 0600 to guide our Army Rangers on how to carry out Higher Value Target Raids. After that, Commander Reyes you send to Fort Bragg to educate our Green Berets on counterinsurgency warfare.
Torres acknowledged the probable controversy surrounding her determination, noting that it would most likely lead to legal arguments and public debate. Both outcomes are good in a wholesome democracy, she wrote. The judge also praised the efforts of transgender soldiers, claiming that many have risked their lives to defend the pretty privileges that the military restrictions seeks to claim them.
Reyes delayed the protection of her purchase until Friday morning so that there is more time for legal proceedings, according to the Trump administration’s plans to appeal the decision. She also noted that the presidency had not demonstrated any significant hardship in maintaining the status quo during the ongoing dispute, while even highlighting that avoiding legal transgressions is in the public’s best interest.
