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.

The rest -
“A man does not have a legal right to compete against women just because he believes that he is a woman,” Thomas declared. “The class of people who claim transgender status could more accurately be described as people who are experiencing ‘gender dysphoria,’ which is not a ‘discrete group.’”
Right now, the Supreme Court recognizes race, religion, and national origin as classes. There is a legal debate over whether transgenderism should be added to that list, but the high court has repeatedly sidestepped that question.
In the majority opinion, Republican-appointed Justice Brett Kavanaugh used careful language about transgender people, referring to the plaintiffs as “transgender” instead of “biological males” and appearing to deliberately avoid using their pronouns.
“Those student athletes want to play sports. Their desire to compete warrants respect. No student-athlete on either side of the issue, whether a biological female or transgender, deserves to be ostracized or vilified,” Kavanaugh, who coached his daughters’ basketball teams, stressed.
The majority opinion effectively left the decision of whether or not transgender girls can compete in girls’ sports up to state legislators, meaning that places like California can still allow transgender girls to compete in girls’ sports, while states like Idaho can enact bans.
The three Democrat-appointed justices had agreed in that judgment, but much more narrowly based on federal law, and declined to make a constitutional ruling as the majority did, which would’ve left the door open to further evaluation.
Thomas is the senior justice, which means that when Chief Justice John Roberts is in the minority, he gets to choose who writes the majority opinion.
The truth is the truth, no matter what day the truth is spoken. 😁🤙
At my age I find it hard to believe that this is an issue at all. Until Frankenstein like scientists can change one’s chromosomes and actually change one’s sex, if that is even possible, there is only xx and xy. That’s the fact Jack.
“Until Frankenstein like scientists can change one’s chromosomes and actually change one’s sex, if that is even possible, there is only xx and xy. “
Even if that could be done, it probably wouldn’t matter, definitely at puberty and possibly even at birth due to bone structure.
It’s irrelevant today because most transwomen are just men in womanface.
Justice Clarence Thomas is a national treasure.
Wanna bet....I believe Rochester NY celebrates it in July.
There’s another gay month?
Well, it is relevant when it comes to girl’s and women’s sports.
But it is not biological. It is politics. Most of these trannies don’t really think they are women. They demand that *you* to believe they are women.
Rochester NY...a Dem stronghold celebrates all of July...parade and all. This was a wonderful city at one time.
Sanity from the court
I really don’t know what they think, except it’s very twisted for sure, not normal in any way.
FTA
Justice Thomas, 78, fully agreed with the majority opinion, which upheld bans
by Idaho and West Virginia wrt transgender “women” competing in girls’ sports.
But he went a few steps further......... and found
that transgenderism isn’t a “protected legal class.”
In court terms, that means that they aren’t a group “historically subjected to
discrimination” that gets critical protections under past Supreme Court decisions.
I have a frat bro who has a female persona. He looks like a woman. A large woman but a woman. ‘
Trannies today want to look like a man portraying a woman. They want you to know they are a man but *you* better play along with them. It’s like blackface only it’s womanface.
The birthright citizenship was their absolute catastrophic failure.
All else is just distraction by the Communists of a myriad squirrels tantalizing the Supremes while the enemy floods in.
PS Who cares about birthright citizenship when 600,000 Communist Chinese agents come here every year for school and never leave? AND, Trump love it ! He says we need it!
(Justice Clarence Thomas blasts
TRANSGENDER rhetoric as a ‘lie’)
“Transgender” DEFINITELY IS A LIE
From the Pits of Fiery Hell 🔥🔥🔥
It’s SICK that we’re still arguing this garbage - Even EUROPE, with their Leftist governments, quickly figured out that they were idiots to follow us and they have outlawed this crap. The rest of the world simply ignored our IDIOCY and never started on this path.
