A federal judge doesn’t believe that transgenders would negatively impact the military
Donald Trump’s executive order regarding transgendered personnel is in front of a U.S. district judge. The judge, Ana Reyes, appears skeptical of the executive order’s intent. Reyes pointed to the less than 1% of the military service members, who use a different pronoun, and argued that these service members would not impact the military. She phrased her question as if the Department of Justice lawyer also saw the “same” reality that she did. However, the lawyer disagreed with her statement. Although Reyes is waiting on the finalization on the plans to carry out this executive order, she already has her mind made up about the order’s legality.
From ABC News:
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes is still hearing arguments Tuesday in the case but signaled deep skepticism with the claim that transgender service members lessen the military’s lethality or readiness.
“You and I both agree that the greatest fighting force that world history has ever seen is not going to be impacted in any way by less than 1% of the soldiers using a different pronoun than others might want to call them. Would you agree with that?” Judge Reyes asked during a hearing this morning.
“No, Your Honor, I’m not. I can’t agree with that,” a lawyer for the Department of Justice responded.
At issue is Trump’s Jan. 27 executive order that directed the DOD to update its guidance “regarding trans-identifying medical standards for military service and to rescind guidance inconsistent with military readiness.” While the Department of Defense has not issued final guidance on transgender service members, the order led to a pause in gender affirming care for service members and is expected to lead to a significant curtailment of transgender service members based on “readiness and lethality.”
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.”

“Biologically correct” or not, if you are medically non-deployable and will be for your entire lifespan, you have no business in any job in any branch of the US military. Thanks for applying, the Peace Corps recruiter is down the hall to your left.
We had that issue aboard several merchant ships as well, and at the maritime colleges where cadets and officers didn’t pack enough testosterone or whatever pills they were on and demanded the vessel pull in to a port and they have their meds “flown out and delivered” via pilot boat — like it was a life or death situation and the company/school’s responsibility. It created a shit ton of problems that otherwise would have never existed had they, uh.. I dunno… never been hired or brought their bullshit out there with them in the first place? Or packed enough of their own stuff since they KNEW they were going to sea for several months?
They inconvenience everyone and fuck up anything they touch or are involved with. They don’t belong in the service or in seagoing occupations where isolation is a problem even for normal folks with actual serious medical needs.
Deckie,
Wait?…..these undermedicated Noobies didn’t fall overboard, out in the middle of the ocean, on a dark and stormy night, and just…..disappear?
The one that started growing boobs and stopped growing facial hair just might have if it didn’t get its way….
Thing is, it’s 100% biologically correct, as all of us with grade school biology know. The fact some doctors decided that toeing the woke line was more advantageous (and profitable) doesn’t change reality. This judge needs to stick to the law, and stop pretending she has any medical qualifications.
I agree with you 100%. But… even if some woke doc or activist judge says it’s “not biologically correct”, being permanently medically nondeployable means you find some other way to serve the nation, the military ain’t it. I retired earlier than I had planned because of various ailments (basically wear and tear on my body) making me medically non-deployable, just like thousands of other service members.
Totally agree. The reason doesn’t matter. Permanently non-deployable means out..or it should..
They and their shit will also impact the shit out of any Line Unit, I can see it now, SPC Snuffy having to do twice the work in the field because PVT Flowerfloof just had to go on profile because he/she/it is in “transition” among other things, along with the drag the latter will put on morale and cohesion. I’m sure deep down most libs KNOW this shit is wrong, but they’ve sold their souls to politics.
“..judge doesn’t believe that transgenders would negatively impact the military”
Spoken with 100% personal & political bias. Oh, and never serving a day or knowing anyone that served a day either. As DOGE goes through the bloated bureaucracy, just see what it costs Uncle Sam for trans service member versus a normal service member. Forget that they aren’t deployable, harm unit cohesion, create uneasy work environment as everybody walks on eggshells, and the whole exponentially higher self-deleting problem. Trump did in his first term, so what’s the effing difference? I must say the Dems resistance to EVERYTHING the Trump Administration does is making them more & more unpopular which is a good thing as Bernie would say.
Cue up Col Jessup’s speech about living under the blanket of freedom we provide and questioning the manner of how it is provided. Focus on the “who’s gonna defend it, you?”
That judge can’t handle the truth. She needs a code red.
News flash for you, your (dis)Honor Miz Judge Thang…IIRC, the POTUS is The Commander in Chief of the military and he can pretty much decide who can serve…and who cannot. All kinds of medical conditions can determine whether or not one is ABLE to serve, in any capacity or at any of the world wide postings that may be required for one to be in. Again…the purpose of the Military is to defend our Country, kill the enemy and break their sh*t. It is NOT a social experiment to make someone feel all warm and fuzzy. I don’t have a problem with someone that is confused about what “gender” they are…long as they leave me and children alone. I DO have a problem with a confused persons thinking that I should have to pay for them to modify their “gender” confusion.
Am glad that President Trump was re elected and if he didn’t make it, some demoRat shitbird would let china or russia start a war with us and the shitbird president would want the enemy to sit around a campfire and sing Sara Sponda Sara Sponda while banging 2 sticks together with our troops. I wonder if that is on youtube. We did it back in my day with no youtube

Or:
Hey, I thought I was alone in my basement, how did you get that picture? I’ll find the camera you MAGA mofos.
If type-2 diabetics (let alone type-1) can’t serve for being medically too hard to sustain in combat, than medically-intensive transtioning/trannie folk shouldn’t either.
My son got flagged at MEPS for his feet because he didn’t do the ‘duck walk’. We worked on that, and I had him examined by the orthopedist that worked on shoulder. He passed later, but it was even more chaotic because it was 2020 during COVID. He’s done 4 re-upped for another 4. Its hard to believe they would taken some wacko that could duck walk before him that didn’t know if they were a boy or a girl. Those days are gone.
I was medically rejected at MEPS in 1987 for an undiagnosed hernia. I guess I should’ve raised hell and called my congressman because they were restricting my rights. It was easier to get it repaired and try again.
When I was serving, we only had men onboard and no one knew what a pronoun was. everyone knew each other by their first and last names.Only an Officer was called Sir then It was Mister Roberts etc. Remember that on a ship. if it didn’t move you painted it and if it moved, you called it Sir.
Those weirdos only want to join for the benefits.
They are likely enlisting for the free frankenpenis or the lopadictomy. This judge is a brain-dead prog.
Is there any other kind of prog?
Negative!
All those judges in the District of Criminals are corrupt. They should all be impeached and the court abolished. Contreras is another one; he was one of the favorites of the corrupt fan belt inspectors. And let’s not overlook E. Sullivan.
She added that the central premise of the executive order — that only two genders exist — is “not biologically correct.”
Would love to see scientific proof applying to the vast majority of the populace for her statement. Admittedly there are occasional solely X or Y outliers, but genetically XX or XY describe the vast majority of the populace. And how is it that enlisting less than 1% of the military has had no positive effect, but if we throw out less than 1% of the military it would be a tragedy? It either has an impact or not – can’t have it both ways.
Then, Judgie, when people “transtion,” why do they always go from one distinct gender to another? That makes two (2).
““You and I both agree that the greatest fighting force that world history has ever seen is not going to be impacted in any way by less than 1% of the soldiers using a different pronoun than others might want to call them. Would you agree with that?” Judge Reyes asked during a hearing this morning.”
Any dead weight that needs to be carried by an organization, whose primary objective is killing people and breaking shit on behalf of a country, makes that organization unnecessarily less lethal. Forcing our military to do this will cost lives (and it won’t be our enemies who’ll bear that cost).
Hack Stone is not about to beat a dead Honorary Chief Petty Officer/Kamikaze pilot into the ground, everyone here has said they are non-deployable, so someone else gets to deploy, again. But what is the return on investment when recruiting transgender people. They can’t deploy, as mentioned. But have your junk removed isn’t as easy as getting a haircut during lunch. Psychological/Psychiatric examinations, hormone therapy, pre and post operation appointments, and ensuing follow on treatment for psychiatric and hormone stability. How much time and money is that? And when exactly do they attend their MOS school? So what is their time in the fleet? Just look at the advantages and disadvantages of allowing transgender troops to serve. Hack Stone can think of one item that is a positive. Please enlighten us, Commissar.
Oh, and let’s not forget that the suicide rate among post-op transgenders is FAR higher than the rest of the population. Hmm, I predict a lot of them going on Psychological Profiles as well which will be an even further drain on Unit Resources.
I wonder if this judge would like to share a bathroom, gym shower or let her son/daughter invite the mental case to a family function, say Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas.
I have a feeling they would get the same reception as the illegals got when they arrived on Martha’s vineyard.
Odie,
Sharing likely, also, son/daughter is impossible.
See below.
It’s not that hard.
Someone cherry picked the 1st openly gay DC district court judge.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ana_C._Reyes
Trying that JPG link again…..
Dang…
When you find out the “judge” trying to stop the POTUS EO on trans in the military is gay…
“is not going to be impacted in any way by less than 1%…”
Suppose we put a very small percentage of Sarin in the air she breathes, or a very small percentage of strychnine in her wine. Metallurgists spend a lot of time studying how small percentages of substances can cause large changes in properties.
A DISTRICT JUDGE, regardless of the fact that they are in the Federal System, does not have the Constitutional Power to stop the Executive Branch of the United States Government.
The Executive Branch IS the President and Vice President of the United States.
The President is the Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces of The United States, and as such can order them to conform to orders that he issues. It does not matter what those orders are, as long as they are lawful, and do not violate the Constitution.
There is absolutely no law in the Constitution that authorizes any special protection for any sub-set of citizens subject to the jurisdiction of the United States [no matter what the left has tried to squeeze out of the 14th Amendment].
If this “judge” believes that the premise that only two genders exist is “biologically incorrect”, then she’s a weapons-grade retard.
Yeah, I thought that particular bit of science was pretty well settled… Long time ago…
Respect the science, except the real world biological science regarding how many sexes there are. Seems to me that it’s pretty well settled science that there are 2 sexes among human beings and numerous made up “genders”. Sex is science, gender is mental illness.
Wish I would have read this comment before posting the same thought 2 hours after you🤪
So now U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes is a doctor as well. So biologically speaking, how many genders are there? The Commander in Chief of the the United States Armed Services has decided to only support two of them in the military. In order to limit spending and requirements for stockage. For readiness purposes we cannot accept anyone who requires medical treatments to maintain a healthy lifestyle that lasts longer than 90 days.
I believe it was the Head Wokness himself, that made the statement two years ago. GEN Milley said no one with a permanent profile could serve, and needed to be discharged. Any profile that lasts longer than 90 days must go to an MMRB for discharge.
