US District Judge Ana Reyes, the first openly LGBTQ+ district court judge in Washington DC, has faced accusations of misconduct after she opposed President Trump's ban on transgender individuals in the military. During a recent hearing, Reyes criticized the executive order’s claims of incompetence regarding trans service members. By questioning the impact of preferred pronoun usage on military readiness, she highlighted logical flaws in the rationale for the ban. This led to a misconduct complaint from the Department of Justice, alleging she compromised judicial impartiality.
Would you agree that if the military is negatively impacted [from the use of pronouns], we all have a lot bigger problems than pronoun use?" Reyes asked, adding that if the military is damaged by pronoun usage, then "our military is incompetent."
I can't agree with that," Lynch replied. Reyes continued: "Do you think usage of that preferred pronoun by that small group of people is going to impact our ability in combat situations? Explain to me how pronoun usage impacts [military readiness]. Because it doesn't. Because any common sense rational human being would understand it doesn't.
