Judge Reyes demanded #DOJ offer ANY evidence that the #transgender ban is addressing an actual problem as opposed to a pretext to #discriminate against transgender people.
Reyes noted that #DOD policies already require the #military to identify people w/debilitating medical conditions & that would cover people w/ gender *dysphoria* who are unable to serve.
"Everything in the record is that it’s a pretext. There is nothing in the record that this was a deliberative process."
