Pete Hegseth launches attack on lesbian judge who blocked trans military ban
Briefly

Pete Hegseth, a high-ranking member of the Trump administration, criticized Judge Ana Reyes for issuing an injunction against a ban on transgender individuals in the military. Reyes, the first openly LGBTQ+ district court judge in Washington, deemed the ban discriminatory and lacking factual basis. Hegseth responded mockingly on social media, questioning Reyes's qualifications for her judicial decision, reflecting broader tensions over diversity and equity in military policies. This incident highlights ongoing debates surrounding the treatment of transgender service members and the implications of administrative policies on inclusivity.
The military ban is dripping with pretext. Its language is unabashedly demeaning, its policy stigmatizes transgender persons as inherently unfit, and its conclusions bear no relation to fact.
Since 'Judge' Reyes is now a top military planner, she/they can report to Fort Benning at 0600 to instruct our army rangers on how to execute high-value target raids.
