Finding the ban is likely unconstitutional on several grounds, Judge Reyes's injunction blocking the ban goes into effect Friday unless a higher court stays her order.
The passion of just law comes through in the careful reasoning of her opinion. I do not know what the ultimate outcome will be, but it is heartening to read a high authority expressing such passion in our defense.
Meanwhile Pete Hegseth was literally banned from serving because of his extremist white supremacist tattoos. He's a drunk, a womanizer, and literally harms morale with his orders.
Likewise, Bully-boy Trump (with a side of Musk) also besmirches the military by bringing it down to his infantile level. By a man who had daddy lie about bone spurs.
" Reyes noted in her opinion that the government asserted 'that the Court cannot probe ‘government officials’ subjective intentions.’ To that, she wrote, 'True, the Court cannot read minds. But it can read.' "
ROFLMAO!!!! This is serious stuff but damn I love Judge Reyes way of writing :-)
I am just posing a question here. Increasingly transgendered is being considered a mental disorder. Gays are born gay- an entirely different matter and are according accommodated under civil rights.
Would the military, or does the military, have any guidelines regarding mental disorders to join?
Gender dysphoria is more like depression than any other mental disorder and depression can be treated, as can gender dysphoria. And the only treatment that actually works is gender transition. I joined the military in 1991 and did not exhibit symptoms of gender dysphoria until many years later. It was only after I quit the Army that my symptoms became so acute that I had to take action or end my own life.
I can relate. I didn't exhibit any symptoms behind an occasional deeply suppressed thought until my mid 40s. Once I opened the mental door, the symptoms escalated rapidly. I'm schedule for bottom surgery in the near future.
It would have made my life easier not to "open the mental door", though a) it wasn't an intentional decision to do so and b) I like who I am (a trans woman). I want to experience this side aspect of myself.
“Increasingly transgendered (sic) is being considered a mental disorder” by whom, gigibelser? The “mental disorder was removed ages ago by the APA when DSM-V was released.
TERFS and RWWN Evangelicals who do not use medical evidence in their notions are the only people widely known to be arguing “mental illness” while the vast majority of mental health professionals accept that transgender is a biological genetic anomaly affecting between 2% - 1% of human beings EVER born across 300,000 years of Homo sapiens history.
Trans folks “are born that way.” Your likes and dislikes and my likes and dislikes don’t matter to human evolution.
You never said one damned thing to support your claims. That makes your claims “ likes and dislikes.”
You don’t know how to argue that leaves you at a huge disadvantage when you belch for things like you’ve done about human conditions you know not a thing about. Another ignorant MAGAt. surprise surprise surprise. Not.
are you speaking to me? I happen to be gay. About 30 years ago the trans community appealed to the gay community for acceptance. I happen to have a different theory about why so much ‘trans discussion’ about now but that is not relevant to my question I was posing. The opinion of the APA not withstanding- there is a lot of conversation about ‘trans’ having been promoted by the previous administration and the swift turn about in this current admin. It is a legitimate question from a challenge that could be posed by the legal community for admission to the military - which is what I happen to be inquiring about. GGB
There was no "promotion" of trans people by the previous administration. There was equality and acceptance. Huge difference. Only the Right made trans people into monsters and demonized us because they need a target to attack. All we want to do is live and let live. THAT'S ALL.
exactly. and my question is directed to the author of this article: an attorney, who has apparently chosen not to reply to anyone in any comment section in any article that he posts that I see .Very unusual for a substack writer.
Is this an issue here for you? why?
His posts involves court room decisions. Did you miss a beat?
I thought she did an exceptionally good job setting this up to withstand a challenge in the court of appeals and on to SCOTUS.
pretty sure that "Dripping with Animus" is Trump's new legal name.

Peter Hegseth - the DUI hire.

"soaked with animus and dripping with pretext"
Chris - is "soaked" and "dripping" the maximum quantity of animus and pretext legally recognizable by a court of law? :-)

Attack those least able to attack back—hallmark of the schoolyard bully … AND its parent—off now to cry on Elon’s broad shoulders.

Ridiculous
How’s about looking for the real mental disorder—narcissism complicated by willful ignorance?

You must’ve missed the 2 trans folks who held cabinet positions in the Biden admin.
Are you also President of the United States?
What kind of bullshit response is that?
You asked if I was speaking to you. No, unless you’re POTUS.
it's not a mental disorder, we're born this way. hope that clears your confusion.
I’m not confused. I’m asking a legal question of the author of this piece.
this is my life, and many other trans lifes you're playing with. get lost with the pragmatic legal what if. we're born this way, period.
It’s how the courts work . You don’t have to like it. Very technical.
you're a person in a comment section, not a court room.

Cobblers.
