Trans “rights” - the rights to sexually abuse and mutilate a minor.

[napscoordinator]

I could only read until the mandatory payment section. Do we know the breakdown of supremes?

[Gay State Conservative]

OUTSTANDING!

[fwdude]

This is a massive victory for common sense, and will encourage more states and jurisdictions to enact similar anti-trans insanity laws.

Perhaps the worm has turned.

Democrat, hands off the children.

The 6-3 ruling is likely to have a broad impact as 24 other states have already enacted laws similar to the one in Tennessee, which bars gender transition surgery, puberty blockers and hormone therapy for youth.

The court was divided on ideological lines, with the six conservatives in the majority and the three liberals in dissent.

Gender affirming. What a lie. Trans surgery is the opposite of gender affirming.

I grieve so much for the victims, but really think the societal tide is going out on this madness

Headline broken.

“US supreme court upholds Tennessee ban on CHILD GENITAL MUTILATION and CHEMICAL CASTRATION.”

There. I fixed it for you.

[Dave911]

Finally some semblance of reason.

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

This is excellent!

[fwdude]

The "attorney" who represented the plaintiffs.

Gee, I wonder if that influences the majority.

[PghBaldy]

6-3.

[Nervous Tick]

>> a devastating loss for trans rights supporters

An encouraging victory for Tennessee children

I am with you in not buying into any part of the mercurial catechisms, which are ideologies pretending to be medical science. I note efforts to help children to live according to their self-evident anatomy is called “conversion therapy” and is considered bad. Indoctrination often followed by brutal chemical treatment, and surgical actions to alter the natural self is called “gender affirming care” and is good.

Currently any perception of doubt, most often arising from social contagion, is exploited by teachers and counselors to direct children and young adults into an ever-shifting idea of personal awareness where internal, subjective ideas eradicate the biological realities of sex. So social contagion becomes a legal form of “grooming”.

In Great Britian public health saw a 17-fold rise in gender dysphoria in just the ten years since 2011-2012. A similar phenomenon has been noted in the US for a decade-to-decade increase of 4400% from 2011 to present. Legitimate scientific research would first focus on the question of why before prescribing any treatment, but not in this country.

[hinckley buzzard]

6-3 with the usual three neurotic women dissenting.

The leftist sites and blogs resemble stirred up anthills now.
