Supreme Court Rules that States can restrict Trans treatments for minors

[martybegan]

The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a Tennessee law banning gender-transition treatments for adolescents in the state is not discriminatory.

At issue in the case, United States v. Skrmetti, was whether Tennessee's Senate Bill 1, which "prohibits all medical treatments intended to allow 'a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex' or to treat 'purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's sex and asserted identity,'" violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said that the law in question is not subject to heightened scrutiny "because it does not classify on any bases that warrant heightened review."

This was more about how the courts need to look at the issue than on any review on the actual efficacy of said treatments.

Basically the court is saying it's up to the people to figure this out.

Just got an email on my phone from "The Daily Signal" that today SCOTUS handed down a 6 to 3 opinion that states can ban 'gender affirming' mutilating surgeries and dangerous drugs for minors.

That is very good news indeed. All 50 states should do so.

Sotomayor, Kagan and Brown predictably dissented.

Still sandbagging us in the nationwide injunctions.

"The justices acted a month after the United Kingdom’s top court delivered a setback to transgender rights, ruling unanimously that the U.K. Equality Act means trans women can be excluded from some groups and single-sex spaces, such as changing rooms, homeless shelters, swimming areas and medical or counseling services provided only to women."

sounds good to me.

Yep, but I think they may save those for a right before the weekend drop.

Cool.

Its about time the SC did something constructive.

Whether it is part of a large conspiracy or not, there is a pandemic of gender confusion and denial, especially in our public schools.

The result will surely be yet another blow to our already-pathetic birth rate - the main impacted demographic being White girls - and coupled with the Democrat-sponsored invasion of the Third World...well, it just doesn't look good.

Glad I won't be around to see how it plays out.

Probably too little too late at this point. Its beyond despicable that all these minds have been indoctrinated with such depraved reprobate behavior and thinking.

The worst thing about all of this is, its actually an issue.

That's not going to happen nor should it. States with sane leadership will let doctors and patients determine what's best.

Basically the court is saying it's up to the people to figure this out.

But the court ruled that the people, via their state legislators, are allowed to figure it out. Some states of course will continue these unconscionable practices. But the people who can't accept that can leave. There is some debate whether California law would actually take the kids from parents who don't allow gender affirming care, but the suggestion is there that it could.

CA Legislators Pass Bill to Take Children from Parent Who Doesn’t Affirm Kid’s Gender Identity - California Family Council

Last week the state legislature approved a bill to require judges to equate “affirmation of child gender transition” directly with a child’s “health, safety, and welfare” when determining custody or visitation rights. Consequently, parents who do not affirm the chosen gender identity of their...

In a surprise move though, I read that Gavin Newsom vetoed that bill. I guess it's true that even a stopped clock gets the time right twice a day.

If the U.S. Congress passes a law banning such mutilation of children and the President signs it--he is so strong on states' rights he might or might not sign it--then no doubt lawsuits will follow and SCOTUS will have to rule on the constitutionality of that.

But for now it is good that they will support a state protecting the children.

The long, slow, but inevitable climb back to common sense.

Let’s hope it can last longer than the current administration

Right now this is a win, so we should take it. Let the States hash it out.

No minor boy ever died because he was refused the opportunity to have his nads chopped off when he said he "identified" as a chick.
