I’m glad the judge is raising the conflicts between the new T policy and trans ban with the exec order requiring military to be fit without the benefit of regular medical treatment.
First of all, Hegseth's basis for ejecting transmen from the military is Trump's, and Trump's basis for ejecting them is simply that he just doesn't like them, any more than he likes blacks, hispanics, immigrants and those who don't worship him. We're looking at deep prejudices that are being incorporated into national policies and blessed by Trump's fellow biggots on the Supreme Court.
I appreciate this judge taking issue with this bizarre directive by Hegseth, but I'm disappointed to see that she referred to the Department of Defense as the "Department of War." And when I heard about Hegseth taking this action, the medical aspects of the situation were the first thing that came to mind. I'm certainly not an expert on testosterone, but I know enough about the medical aspects of health to be aware that there is a range of "normal" for numerous health variables, and that the level of testosterone in a person's body is just one of many other factors that affect the ability to be a high functioning and healthy person.

Busted.
I love this judge
Bingo!
Idiots pwned themselves. Hoping this helps the trans community.
Congratulations to this judge for seeing through the line of scientific/medical/critical thinking we are constantly fed by this administration.
Bravo 🙌🏽
I am an Army Vietnam vet (19 months in country). Can I get a Testosterone shot now at 82 when I can really use it?
