Justice Clarence Thomas blasts transgender rhetoric as a ‘lie’ in biting Supreme Court opinion

WASHINGTON — Republican-appointed Justice Clarence Thomas tore into transgenderism as a “lie to the public” in his concurrence on the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold state-level policies restricting girls’ sports to biological females.

The senior justice went further than all of his conservative peers in making the sweeping pronouncement on transgenderism and declared biological sex “immutable.”

“Men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or girls, even if they believe that they are. Sex is an immutable ‘biological’ characteristic,” Thomas wrote in his brief, two-page solo concurrence.

“[I]t is binary; and ‘man’ and ‘woman,’ ‘boy’ and ‘girl,’ are the terms that correspond to adults and children of each sex,” he stressed. “To use language to obscure reality—to show ‘indifference regarding the truth’— is to lie to the public and cease to treat our fellow citizens ‘as equal[s].'”

Thomas, 78, fully agreed with the majority opinion, which upheld Idaho’s and West Virginia’s bans on transgender women competing in girls’ sports.

But he went a few steps further and found that transgenderism isn’t a protected legal class, which, in court terms, means that they aren’t a group historically subjected to discrimination that gets critical protections under past Supreme Court decisions.

The majority opinion declined to opine on that either way.

It was a good concurrence by Thomas, but until we attack the source, the entire sexual abomination represented by the acronym of perversion, we will never defeat the "transgender" insanity. They are all the multiple heads of a single monster.

If we were to effectively attack and neutralized homosexuality and that entire agenda, transgenderism would naturally wither up and blow away as a logical conclusion.

We will probably never put an end to this craziness since there always has been very confused and mentally ill people and there always will be. But we can protect our kids from exposure to this very leftist acceptance.
