John Hinderaker:
Judge Reyes, born in Uruguay, was appointed to the federal bench in 2023 by Joe Biden. Wikipedia describes her as “both the first Latina and the first openly LGBT person to serve as a district court judge in Washington, D.C.” In private practice at Williams & Connolly, she “focused on cross-border legal issues and international arbitration, while also taking on pro bono work to represent asylum seekers and refugee organizations.” So the Democrats knew what they were doing when they got this case before her.
You can read Reyes’s opinion at the link. It cites a few cases, mostly for boilerplate propositions. It is basically a 79-page explanation of why she disagrees with President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Her memorandum literally has a section titled “Transgender Persons Contribute to Society.”
