A US district judge sparred with a lawyer representing the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Tuesday on Tuesday on the use of pronouns related to President Donald Trump's ban on transgender people in the military.
US District Judge Ana C. Reyes argued during the hearing that an order to stop Trump administration's military from halting the use of favorable gender pronouns would not affect combat readiness.
“I understand that the rational people with common sense aren't,” Judge Reyes told Justice Department attorney Jason C. Lynch.
Reyes, appointed by former President Joe Biden in 2023, pressed Lynch to find a commissioned soldier to testify that the use of a favourable pronoun hurts combat readiness. She even went on to call the Trump administration's position “silly.”
“A group of trans and future service members sued last month to block Trump's orders banning transgender people from joining or serving in the military.” It's attracting attention NBC News. “The order also directed the Department of Defense to “use of invented termination and identification-based pronouns.” ”
In another exchange, Judge Reyes also argued that the Trump administration's orders were “ramping on Animus.”
“As opposed to being based on legitimate government purposes, the ban reflects hostility towards trans people because of their transgender status,” she said.
Several transgender members of the military have vowed to fight the Trump administration and the Supreme Court.
“It is extremely painful to hear when these executive orders and memo language challenge our honor when we are told we do not meet military standards without evidence,” the United States recently Brie Frum, active colonel of the Space Force. I said Guardian.
“This is not the place we expect to see after 10 years of open service,” Fulham added. “This ban is saddened to myself and my transgender colleagues, and also has an interest in national security in America. We have thousands of transgender service members, and are openly honored. They are in service and their losses will leave a huge hole in our country's military capabilities.”
