In a recent court hearing, Judge Ana C. Reyes criticized President Trump's executive order prohibiting transgender individuals from serving in the military, labeling the language as 'poisonous.' She emphasized the importance of evaluating the language's implications and questioned its legality, arguing that it reflects 'unadulterated animus' rather than valid concerns. The case has been brought by eight plaintiffs, including active transgender military personnel. Reyes' ruling is anticipated in March after the Pentagon updates its policy related to the order, which has drawn significant scrutiny in the court.
In a sometimes-fiery hearing, Judge Ana C. Reyes described language used by President Donald Trump as 'unadulterated animus,' contesting its validity and legality for barring transgender military service.
Reyes noted that Trump's executive order called being transgender a 'falsehood' and stated it was critical to establish whether this language was demeaning to transgender individuals.
