Report: Judge bashing Trump's military trans decision donated to Democrats

There could be a new problem for a judge hearing a lawsuit brought by LGBT activists against President Donald Trump's decision that the United States recognizes two sexes, male and female, and being transgender and requiring various treatments and accommodations disqualifies someone from the military's requirement for combat readiness.

Trump's move reversed an agenda point for multiple Democrats to install transgenderism inside the U.S. military.

It's because the judge, Ana Reyes, has been a prominent financial supporter of Democrat political candidates and causes.

The Federalist explains its investigation of the judge uncovered a complaint that the Department of Justice has filed against the Joe Biden appointee, accusing her of "hostile and egregious misconduct" during a hearing in the case.

The DOJ said Reyes, "who is reportedly a member of the LGBT community," challenged Trump's order by claiming his assertion there are two sexes is 'not biologically correct."

She claimed, "There are anywhere near about 30 different intersex examples. So, someone who does not have just an XX or XY chromosome is not just male or female; they're intersex. And there are over 30 potential different intersex examples."

The complaint also cites Reyes' behavior in "questioning a Department of Justice attorney regarding his religious beliefs and then using him unwillingly as a physical prop in her courtroom theatrics."

The Federalist reported, "While unbecoming of a judge, Reyes' reported behavior is unsurprising given her fealty to leftist causes. From donating to Democrat campaigns to working alongside left-wing organizations, the Biden appointee's track record calls into question her ability to remain impartial on political matters brought before her."

The report said the Federal Election Commission records shows Reyes has adopted a political stance in favor of Democrats and has "given thousands of dollars to various Democrat candidates and causes."

For instance, she financially supported Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, in addition to congressional candidates Jon Ossoff and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.

And she gave money to support leftist political action committees.

She even contributed to Democrat fundraiser ActBlue, which now is under investigation for allegedly allowing foreign entities to try to illegally corrupt American elections.

Reyes already has issued an injunction regarding Trump's executive order for the military, as the case just is getting started.

She is trying to overturn Trump's directive that explained the "medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria" is "inconsistent" with the "high standards for troop readiness, lethality, cohesion, honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity."

The Pentagon already has halted taxpayer funding for various treatments for those with "gender dysphoria."

The report noted her court biography also reveals her work before becoming a judge focused on various topics at a law firm that was devoted "to leftist orthodoxy," and included litigating against President Trump during his first term.
