Summary

A federal judge harshly criticized Trump’s executive order banning transgender service members and restricting pronoun use, calling it “demeaning” and “biologically inaccurate.”

Judge Ana Reyes dismissed claims that pronoun use affects military readiness as “frankly ridiculous” and questioned the administration’s justification.

She also challenged government lawyers on the order’s vague condemnation of “radical gender ideology,” which they could not define.

The order, enforced by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, halts gender-affirming care and trans recruitment. Multiple lawsuits argue it undermines military readiness and unfairly targets transgender troops.

    If these degenerates actually wanted to improve military readiness, they would put 100% of their effort into tackling our long-standing obesity crisis, chiefly by harshly regulating the sale and consumption of absolute shit and taking PE much more seriously in schools. Something like 70% of military age people are physically unfit for service, and the biggest reason is being out of shape. Solving that would improve our footing twentyfold over the [wholly imagined] amount that turning away women and the “morally weak” would do.

    But…

    1. Too many people make too much money selling absolute shit for food, and they pay their bribes like all special interests in this country.
    2. They are here to take hatchets to our foundations like the craven traitors they are, not actually fix anything.
