A federal judge on Tuesday indicated she would rule in favor of a group of transgender soldiers who sued to block President Trump’s executive order on transgender troops.
Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden appointee, pressed DOJ lawyers on Tuesday, stating that Trump’s executive order affirming there are only two genders is ‘not biologically correct.’
“With the DOD policy expected to be finalized over the coming week, Reyes said she would hold off on issuing an order but had largely made up her mind about the legality of the order, at one point remarking that ‘smarter people on the D.C. Circuit would have to tell me I’m wrong’ about the policy. She added that the central premise of the executive order — that only two genders exist — is ‘not biologically correct.'” – ABC News reported.
Last month President Trump signed the ‘Restoring America’s Fighting Force’ executive order and the ‘Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness’ executive orders, which direct every element of the U.S. military to ‘operate free from any preference based on race or sex’ and root out gender insanity and made up pronoun usage, respectively.
This order directs the Secretary of Defense to ensure that military service is “reserved for those mentally and physically fit for duty” and “promptly issue directives for DoD to end invented and identification-based pronoun usage.” The standards for our military troops are deemed “inconsistent with the medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria.”
“It is the policy of the United States Government to establish high standards for troop readiness, lethality, cohesion, honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity,” the order states. “This policy is inconsistent with the medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria. This policy is also inconsistent with shifting pronoun usage or use of pronouns that inaccurately reflect an individual’s sex.”
Judge Reyes also pressed lawyers on the use of pronouns and gender ideology.
“If you were in a foxhole, you wouldn’t care about these individuals’ gender ideology, right?” the judge asked DOJ lawyers.
The judge did not issue a ruling on Tuesday.
