Judge Stuart Kyle Duncan, who was appointed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals by President Donald Trump, struck back against transgender insanity on Wednesday in a court case.
Norman Varner, a man who pleaded guilty to child porn charges in 2012, has since come out as transgender. He now demands special rights due to his gender transition, which he announced in 2015. He demanded that the court use female pronouns to address him, and call him by his preferred name of “Katherine Nicole Jett.”
Duncan was having none of it while writing his majority opinion about the case.
“Norman Varner, federal prisoner # 18479-078, appeals the denial of his motion to change the name on his judgment of confinement to “Katherine Nicole Jett.” The district court denied the motion as meritless. We conclude that the district court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the motion and so vacate the court’s judgment. In conjunction with his appeal, Varner also moves that he be addressed with female pronouns. We will deny that motion,” Judge Duncan wrote.
He added that “no authority supports the proposition that we may require litigants, judges, court personnel, or anyone else to refer to gender-dyshoric litigants with pronouns matching their subjective gender identity.”
“We decline to enlist the federal judiciary in this quixotic undertaking,” Judge Duncan concluded.
In a dissent to the majority opinion on the case, Judge James Dennis – a liberal appointee of former President Bill Clinton – claimed that Judge Duncan’s “advisory opinion is inappropriate, unnecessary, and beyond the purview of federal courts.”
Liberals are complaining about the supposed callousness of Judge Duncan’s opinion on social media as well, believing that the convicted child molester’s delusions should be coddled by the judiciary:

Eff.’em.

Thank you Judge!
About time, ffs!
Go Judge :) and God bless you and keep you safe.
“Gender expression” appears to be a protected class under California rules of professional responsibility. I’ll have to find out where His Honor is licensed.
The judge should have had the perp drop his pants and then took out a sharp knife and fixed him up right.
President Trump’s appointees to Appeals Courts have been mostly good. They should ALL be as the Senate is not allowing the blue slip process to be misused to block any of the Appeals nominees. The only “questionable” one I recall is his first nominee to the 9th CCA (Hawaii based) who has sided with the open borders crowd on some immigration issues and has suspect views on the 2nd Amendment.
Props to Judge Dennis ... HE’S STANDING TALL! May all Trump’s appeals judges be equally bold.

Sorry...props to Judge Duncan. Dennis is the dissenting squish ‘RAT appointed judge.
Callousness?
These people think that this judge should treat this pedophile with charity?
What charity did this monster show the children that he abused?
Me? I am thankful that Trump and his people found a judge that keeps his judgements anchored in reality. I am also thankful that this judge confines his judgements to his area of jurisdiction.
Judge Kyle Duncan, thank you for doing what is right...More winning...

Trying to force people to use preferred pronouns is just Leftist mind control.
