Judge Ana Reyes Blasted for ‘Disturbing,’ Unprofessional Ruling, Hectoring DOJ Attorney on What ‘Jesus Would Say’ About Trans Soldier Ban

A D.C. judge is being accused of being one of many “activist judges” who is using her position to stymie President Donald Trump’s agenda after blocking his de facto ban on transgender people in the military.

U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes, a Biden-appointee and the first openly lesbian federal judge in D.C., blocked the Trump administration’s transgender troops ban on Tuesday night, in part citing Hamilton, a Broadway musical beloved by liberals, to justify her decision.

“The Court’s opinion is long, but its premise is simple. In the self-evident truth that ‘all people are created equal,’ all means all. Nothing more. And certainly nothing less,” the order reads, differing from the Declaration of Independence which reads, “all men are created equal.”

“Women were ‘included in the sequel’ when passage of the Nineteenth Amendment granted them the right to vote in 1920. See Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton: An American Musical (2016); compare U.S. Declaration of Independence (1776) with U.S. Const. amend. XIX (1920),” the citation reads. “That right is one of the many that thousands of transgender persons serve to protect.”

Trump Pulls $175 Million in Federal Funding from UPenn After They Defied His Order on Transgenders in Women’s Sports

President Trump has suspended $175 million in federal funding from the University of Pennsylvania after they defied his order on transgenders in women’s sports.

The prestigious Ivy League university is currently in violation of Title IX, which prohibits the sending of federal funding to universities or organizations that allow biological men to compete against women.

The news was first reported by Fox Business:

A senior administration official told FOX Business that the administration has paused $175 million in federal funding.

This did not account for UPenn’s total federal funding, which the university previously reported last year was around $1 billion.

The pause is not a direct result of the investigation into UPenn, which the Department of Education announced a day after the president signed the “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order on Feb. 5.

UPenn made headlines in 2022 after placing Lia Thomas, a biological male identifying as a transgender woman, on the women’s swim team.

Thomas went on to win a national title in the women’s 500-yard freestyle, edging out female competitors over whom she had a clear biological advantage.

Doctors, Detransitioners Allege Medical Malpractice In Treating Gender Dysphoria

Dr. Eithan Haim, a surgeon from Texas, says that some physicians cannot handle the shock after realizing that prescribing drugs or performing surgeries for youth with gender dysphoria can cause harm.

Haim said such doctors “have to grow a spine” and speak out about this alleged malpractice in the medical community toward vulnerable youth that “turn them into chronic medical patients.”

“Self-reflection for them would be self-immolation. Their souls, I don’t think, could survive that reality, that truth,” he said in an interview March 12 with Jan Jekielek on NTD, a sister outlet of The Epoch Times.

“So they lie to themselves.”

Haim recently emerged from a legal battle with the Department of Justice under former President Joe Biden. The Texas physician faced charges of illegally accessing medical records when he revealed that a Houston hospital was performing gender transition procedures on minors, against state law.

Those charges were dropped shortly after the election of President Donald Trump.

Haim was a guest panelist at a Capitol Hill forum highlighting detransitioners—individuals who have undergone gender transition procedures, but later chose to halt those procedures or attempt to reverse them.

The panel, hosted by detransition advocacy group Genspect, was held on Wednesday, Detrans Awareness Day. Established in 2021, Detrans Awareness Day honors the experiences of detransitioners and raises awareness about the harmful effects of gender ideology and “gender medicine.”

Speaking during the panel, Dr. Patrick Hunter, a pediatrician, said he is “not optimistic” that doctors will change their minds about “gender-affirming care” unless motivated by public scrutiny and the threat of legal and financial action.

“Make them defend themselves, that will damage their reputation, and help save kids,” he said.

Dr. Patrick Lappert, a plastic surgeon, told attendees that hormone therapies can be reversed, but many “below-the-belt” surgeries cannot, leaving patients disfigured and unable to conceive children. They may also experience kidney, bladder, and bowel problems.

Surgical assistance to detransitioners after such surgeries involves “managing the complications of what they’ve done in the past,” Lappert said.

“Surgery is essentially management of chronic wounds and chronic problems, but there’s no way to reverse genital mutilation.”

GOP Rep Unveils Bill To Prevent Federal Dollars From Subsidizing Sex Change Surgeries

Republican South Dakota Rep. Dusty Johnson will introduce legislation Tuesday to bar healthcare entities from using some federal dollars to subsidize sex change surgeries and hormone replacement therapies.

Johnson’s No 340B Savings for Transgender Care Act would prohibit healthcare entities from using savings under the 340B drug pricing program to offer free or discounted sex change procedures to uninsured or low-income Americans. The legislation would ensure that healthcare entities are not pushing left-wing gender ideology with savings derived from participation in the program, according to background on the bill obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Congress created the 340B program in 1992 to stretch eligible healthcare entities’ federal dollars by requiring drug manufacturers participating in Medicaid to sell discounted drugs to eligible healthcare entities, which allows them to use the derived savings to provide additional services and expand healthcare access. Some healthcare entities in blue states, such as Howard Brown Health in Chicago, Illinois, have publicized that they use their 340B savings on sex-altering procedures, including “hormone therapy, group therapy and gender-affirming surgical navigation.”

Between 2018 and 2023, 16 states funneled more than $165 million in funding to so-called “gender-transition services,” including so-called puberty blockers and sex change surgeries.

Sex-altering procedures are especially expensive for uninsured patients, ranging from up to $15,000 for just genital reconstruction, to $50,000 for genital reconstruction, facial alteration and breast removal, according to the DCNF’s previous reporting.

Individuals who undergo sex-change procedures will also need to remain on hormone replacement therapy for the remainder of their life, which can cost as much as $1,500 per year.

“The federal government should not be subsidizing hormone therapies and gender altering surgeries when our nation faces significant health crises,” according to background on the bill shared with the DCNF.

Former President Joe Biden’s administration and Democratic-led states oversaw a massive increase in taxpayer-funded child sex-change procedures, the DCNF previously learned.

Violent transsexuals arrested for terror attacks against Tesla…

By now, you know that Elon Musk and Tesla are under relentless attack from the violent left. Tesla charging stations, cars, stores, and dealerships are being vandalized—even bombed—by Dem operatives furious that DOGE is exposing government waste and corruption.

But what you may not know—because the fake news media is working overtime to cover for the left—is that so far, two of these domestic terrorists are trannies. The man who attempted to bomb a Tesla store in Loveland, Colorado, is cosplaying as a woman. And the suspect behind the firebombing and shooting of a Tesla in Salem, Oregon? Well, he’s also a mentally ill crossdresser.

Meet the men responsible for this terror and violence: Justin Thomas Nelson, aka “Lucy Grace Nelson,” and Adam Matthew Lansky, aka “Allison Tesla.” These are not just unhinged activists—they are violent threats to America’s safety.

And let’s not forget, this latest wave of trans violence comes right on the heels of the assassination attempt on right-wing politicians in DC. And that shooter was also a tranny named Ryan Michael English, aka “Riley English.”

Pentagon Enforces Transgender Ban as Biden Judge Warns DOJ of Legal Fallout, Possible Court Ruling This Week

The U.S. military is undergoing major policy changes regarding transgender service members following a Presidential Trump directive to ban transgenders from service in the U.S. military.

The ongoing federal litigation challenging this policy. A ruling is expected on Tuesday or Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden-appointed judge, has expressed skepticism and indicated her likely hostility towards Trump’s transgender ban.

The judge was quoted by the Associated Press as saying of transgender troops: “They have to essentially be in hiding while in service.”

The judge was quoted in this ABC story as saying she believed transgenders only had a higher risk of suicide because of discrimination. The judge said the DOJ ‘cherry picked’ evidence and examples to support its claims that transgenders were unfit for military service.

The ongoing litigation contends that Trump’s order violates transgender people’s rights to equal protection under the Fifth Amendment.

On February 26, 2025, the DoD implemented President Trump’s Executive Order 14183, titled “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness.”

The policy prohibits transgender individuals from serving openly in the U.S. military and bars those diagnosed with gender dysphoria or related conditions from enlistment, appointment, or retention.

Gender dysphoria is the mental illness where one’s biological sex does not match the gender the individual believes they ought to have.

This move effectively reinstates the Trump-first-term-era policy that was ended by President Biden in 2021.

The DoD argues that the new policy banning transgenders is necessary to maintain combat effectiveness, unit cohesion, and medical readiness.

Transgender therapies, not including surgery, typically costs employers between $25,000-$75,000 per year.

DA Refuses to Prosecute Trans Sex Offender Who Previously Exposed Himself at 2 Schools, 3 Rec Centers, Say Police

Richard Kenneth Cox, 58, is a registered sex offender.

According to a March 3 report from WJLA-TV, Cox faces 12 counts in Arlington County, Virginia, of being a sex offender in proximity to children, three counts of a sex offender entering a school or child day care center, four counts of indecent exposure, two counts of taking indecent liberties with children, and one count of identity theft. His next hearing is on May 23, 2025.

Cox’s public defender wanted the hearing closed, WJLA reported. The judge asked the Arlington County Commonwealth’s Attorney whether they had an opinion on this and they didn’t. The judge asked why the public defender wanted the hearing closed. After that, the motion was withdrawn.

One might have asked why the Arlington County attorney didn’t have an opinion on the matter. Then again, prosecutors in Northern Virginia have plenty of blame to share for the fact that Cox was still out on the street — particularly since, in neighboring Fairfax County, the top prosecutor refused to go after the registered sex offender after he allegedly committed indecent exposure in a Planet Fitness women’s restroom.

Now, after allegedly exposing himself at two schools and three recreational centers on 10 different occasions since the previous charges against him were dropped, prosecutors seem to be playing a different tune. If only they’d have done so back in 2024.

Cox, WJLA reported, identifies as transgender; however, this seems to be one of the few cases in which the media is willing to address someone who very obviously looks like a male and is a male as a male, despite calling himself transgender — perhaps because, as the station reported last month, he’s “also a registered sex offender who has a lengthy criminal record.”

However, the alleged “indecent exposure” happened inside a Planet Fitness in Falls Church, Virginia, in June of 2024 — and Planet Fitness has a policy that allowed a registered child sex offender into whatever bathroom he pleases: “All members, including transgender members, may use Planet Fitness locker room facilities, bathrooms, showers, and all other facilities/programs separated by sex based on their self-reported gender identity.”

And apparently, to have stuff like this happen to them, according to this criminal complaint by an unnamed woman:

“I went to Planet Fitness in Falls Church on June 6, and around 4:30 p.m., I went to the restroom,” the complaint read. “I used the stall. Once I was finished, I went to wash my hands, and as soon as I was finished [with] my hands, I tried to walk out. I was startled by a man naked right in front of me in the restroom. I panicked and ran out to see if I’m in the right restroom. I looked at the sign outside the restroom and it was the female restroom.”

Another Fairfax County resident named Lyndsey, no last name given, said she canceled her gym membership because of Cox’s presence.

US Navy Announces Voluntary Separation For Transgender Sailors

The Department of the Navy on March 13 announced voluntary separation for sailors with a current diagnosis or history of gender dysphoria, as it will only recognize the male and female sexes, “with gender being immutable.”

The update affects military service eligibility, and sailors “impacted by these changes may request voluntary separation,” the department said in a statement. The department said it will not make active efforts to identify individuals with gender dysphoria.

“Waivers for retention or accession may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Sailors eligible for voluntary separation pay will receive twice the amount of involuntary separation pay, though this is not available to those with fewer than six or more than 20 years of service,” the statement reads.

Those who opt for voluntary separation will be placed in an administrative absence status, with full pay and benefits, until their separation is complete. The Navy has committed to the “privacy and dignity” of those impacted by the policy change.

Furthermore, the Navy said that those who separate voluntarily do not need to repay education benefits or bonuses previously received.

According to an official Navy document released by Terence G. Emmert, acting secretary of the Navy, sailors have until March 28 to request voluntary separation.

The Navy’s decision was made according to President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14168, titled “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.”

The Navy document further says that a history of cross-sex hormone therapy, sex reassignment, or genital reconstruction surgery as part of gender-related treatments will be deemed disqualifying for military service applicants.

Waivers may be considered on a case-by-case basis by the secretary of the Navy.

To be eligible for the waiver, military personnel or applicants must demonstrate 36 consecutive months of stability in the individual’s sex and other important areas of functioning while meeting applicable standards associated with their sex.

‘Completely Crazy’: NJ Hospitals Ask Parents to Identify Newborns’ Sexual Orientation

A New Jersey hospital system is asking parents of newborns to designate their infant’s “sexual orientation” in a questionnaire mandated by state law.

The document from Inspira Health titled “Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Questionnaire” features several disturbing sections, the New York Post reported on Saturday.

The form asks parents to identify their baby as “Male; Female; Transgender” or “GenderQueer” and tacks on another option called “Additional gender category/Self-described.”

Parents are further pressed to choose from the options of “Lesbian or gay; Straight or heterosexual; Bisexual; Self-describes” or “Questioning/Unsure” when describing their newborn.

Speaking with the Post about the questionnaire, New Jersey State Sen. Holly Schepisi (R-Bergen) said there is a lack of logic regarding the issue. “To be handed that sort of form […] has no medical value, it makes no sense.”

A New Jersey mother of two likewise told the newspaper, “That form is completely crazy, and anyone who would dictate a baby’s sexual orientation probably has an agenda. If I was told to fill this out, I’d rip it up in front of them. It feels like we’ve entered ‘The Twilight Zone.’”

Bureaucrats Defy Trump’s Cuts: Nearly 40 Transgender Animal Experiments, $400M in Tax Dollars, Still Active

Despite early intervention efforts on the part of the Trump Administration [and its Department of Governmental Efficiency] to revoke, freeze, and eliminate a number of unorthodox government-sponsored experiments involving transgender hormone testing on animals, nearly 40 such federal grants – including one disbursed via the Department of Veteran’s Affairs – remain active according to the most recent data available.

Last week, among the sweeping cuts outlined as part of the administration’s efforts to increase government efficiency and tamp down government waste, included seven grants funding such animal experiments, but three programs similarly recognized and named by the White House press release remain active with almost $4 million taxpayer dollars still slated to flow into these experiments.

These programs include Duke University’s $455,000 grant allocation for the purposes of injecting mice with cross-sex hormones to study the impacts of gender-affirming estrogen therapy and how it might impact HIV vaccine response. Additionally, Harvard’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center was awarded a currently active grant just shy of $300,000 to study how testosterone therapy might support female mice induced with breast cancer. Finally, Indiana University continues to benefit from over $3.1 million in taxpayer funding for the purposes of studying how transgender hormone therapy in animals may impact their risk of asthma.
