“An order signed by the President of the United States calls for an entire category of people, dishonest and immodests, who have received medals for having taken fire to this country, can you tell me if this language expresses animus,” asked Reyes judge in Lynch.

Judge Reyes exploded: “We are dealing with an industrial animus, an entire group of people who served this country, calling them liars!” This is a policy of the President of the United States affecting thousands of people, she said. “To call an entire group of liars who have no integrity, how is it something other than showing Animus,” asked judge Reyes.
Lynch argued that it is not a transgender prohibition, it is a break while the defense secretary determines how to align the policy on the decree of the president.
“If we had President Trump here and asked him if it was a transgender ban, what would you think he would say,” asked judge Reyes.

Lynch replied that he did not know. Judge Reyes continued: “He would of course say that it is because he calls him a transgender prohibition.”
On January 27, President Trump signed a decree “prioritizing excellence and military preparation” which declared that “the armed forces were afflicted with a radical gender ideology to appease activists not concerned by the requirements of the service military … and the cohesion of unity. ” The Order also said: “The adoption of a gender identity incompatible with the sex of an individual with the commitment of a soldier to an honorable, truthful and disciplined lifestyle, even in his personal life” .
Judge Reyes rejected this definition by asking: “The government believes that being trans is an ideology, yes or no.” When the state prosecutor could not answer, she pushed more: “Transgender people just have an ideology, not an immutable characteristic … Just think something in my head?”
Reyes then told the lawyer for Doj Jason Lynch that the premise of the decree is based on an “incorrect biological evaluation” because, she said, there are more than two sexes. Judge Reyes then listed 30 different intersex examples: including people who have three X chromosomes, and some who have XY but have female genitals.

“I am not here to declare that whoever woke up and they came out,” HegSeth told Breitbart. “I pay particular attention. There are many generals three and four stars for promotion or for new positions, and there will already be a few people that we have identified who will have different jobs in due time … there has decrees.

Two LGBTQ legal organizations, Glad and the National Center for Lesbian Rights, represent 6 transgender complainants who are currently used in the army and 2 which were being created.
The prosecution affects around 9,000 to 14,000 transgender soldiers. The soldiers do not classify or keep the registers of those who are transgender, so the exact numbers are difficult to assess.
One of the main complainants is Army Reserve 2nd Lieutenant Nicolas Talbott, a 31-year-old transgender man who grew up in Lisbon, Ohio, on the farm of his grandparents before embedding last March. He went from female to male in 2012.
“I was O-9 Sierra. I went directly from the basic training to the school of officer’s candidates where I ordered as a second lieutenant. And as I am in the reserve, I knew how to enter the army that I was going to be a military police officer. “I was able to follow some of the young children. But for the most part, I surprised a lot. I was very pleasantly surprised by myself in this regard.”

Talbott wanted to join the army after September 11. He pushed back when he was asked if the soldiers had dropped the standards so that he could meet the physical requirements of basic training.
“The slogan of the school candidates’ school is standards. No compromise. And they live 100%. There was no compromise for anyone, including me,” said Talbott. “I was treated in the same way as everyone. I presented myself like everyone else. I played like everyone else. And there was no disturbance caused by my presence.”
Talbott’s lawyer, Shannon Minister, legal director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, was in the courtroom today.
“It is so simple. It is so simple. We have a legal argument that it violates the equal protection clause to distinguish a group of people to exclude them from military service according to a characteristic which has absolutely Nothing to do with their physical form or ability to do the work, “Lied in Fox. “These members of the Trans Service must meet exactly the same standards as others in terms of medical requirements, adequacy to be deployed, professional capacities and performance. There is no special transmission for transgender troops. They are used exactly to the same terms as everyone. “

The president’s decree and the subsequent note of the Secretary of Defense, Hegseth, on February 7, described the decision as a question of preparation. “The department must ensure that it constitutes a” force “without sub-groups defined by something other than capacity and membership of the mission. The efforts to divide our troops along the identity weaken our strength and make us vulnerable, “wrote Hegseth. “In force immediately, all new accessions for people with history of gender dysphoria are interrupted, and all unforeseen, programmed or planned medical procedures associated with the assertion or facilitation of a gender transition for members service are interrupted. “
Judge Reyes cited a recent case in which a member of the Transgender service was “on the operation table on the point of obtaining anesthesia” and someone stopped the operation to comply with the advice of the Secretary to the Defense. She mentioned a second case in which a member of the transgender service led the night of a military base to obtain a medically necessary procedure until the commander calls and says “you must return and come back or you will be considered Like Awol, absent without leave, “and face punishment.
Some supporters of a transgender military ban suggest that hormonal surgeries and treatments could interfere with deployment cycles.

“Absolutely not,” said Minter, noting that for a trans person to be able to join the army, the person must already be spent and has been stable for at least 18 months before enrollment.
“The medical treatments that transgender people undergo have little or no effect on deployment. The hormone has no effect at all …. much shorter than many other much more common medical conditions than other members of the Service, “like knee surgeries or appendectomies. “So it’s really a red herring.”
“If this ban is put in place, it impacts me personally by essentially tearing my dream,” said Talbott. “This is what I always wanted to be when I am big, so to speak, is an army officer of the United States. And I think that impacts me in my personal life, you know , not only as an officer in the army, but as an American citizen.

A recent Gallup survey shows that 58% of Americans support transgender people in the army, compared to 66% in 2021 and 71% in 2019.
Judge Reyes asked the lawyer for Doj Jason Lynch at the start of the hearing that if he was under fire in a fox hole with someone who is transgender and congratulations for bravery, “you do not You wouldn’t care about their genre ideology, right? ” Lynch replied that he doubted that gender identity would be in his mind in this situation.
