Supreme Court upholds Tennessee law that bars gender-affirming care for minors
NPR ^ | 6/18/25 | Nina Totenbeeg

Posted on 06/18/2025 8:55:18 AM PDT by chuck allen

In a decision that plunged the Supreme Court into yet another culture war feud, the justices on Wednesday upheld a Tennessee law banning all gender affirming care for minors. In the last few years, fully half the states have adopted similar bans, leaving the other half, so far, allowing gender affirming care in the form of at minimum, hormone treatments prior to a teenager turning 18.

The vote was 6-to-3, along conservative/liberal lines.

Defund NPR now. The decision just shows that 3 of the SC Judges are corrupt and evil beyond redemption.

Gender Affirming Care...

Sounds like such a nice and good and proper thing to do.

But it’s the complete opposite of good.

Democrats know how to define their dastardly programs to sound like it’s the nice and right thing to do.

People need to get wise to their methods. Even the term ‘democratic’ in the party’s title is nothing of the sort.

kids who want to transition from their sex assigned at birth

Using the passive voice to hide from reality - how “progressive.”

Castration is not gender-affirming. it is gender destroying.

Here's what I love about the extreme far-left and their extreme far-left "Judges" on the U.S. Supreme Court: Those 3 SCOTUS extreme far-left Judges, in their insane dissenting opinion, actually try to defend the idea of (and I quote from their dissent), "transgender children."

First, why TF are there even "transgender children?" WTF is wrong with all modern-day Democrats? "Transgender children?"

That very term is totally insane. Democrats are totally insane.

Say a 10 year-old boy goes to his parents and says, "I heard about some boy becoming a girl. I want to be a girl too." And the far-left liberal parents mindlessly respond, Sure if that's what you want. Let's go for it! Woo-hoo!

The Dumb Democrats are literally insane. Just let their children do whatever they want. And when your child wants to do something totally insane (after all, a child's brain is obviously not fully developed, not even close) that requires doctors, elective surgeries, and doctor-prescribed drugs, you just say to your confused child, Sure whatever you want, if you want to go see doctors, get elective surgeries, and take lots of prescription drugs, sure no problem.

Dumb Democrats have gone full insane, including Dumb Democrat U.S. Supreme Court Justices. What next? When your underage child says she wants to be a cute puppy, as the parents, do you start investigating the medical possibilities for that "transition" too? Given the pace of technological and medical research, you know it's only a matter of time before that sort of "transition" becomes possible, whether that's a few decades or centuries from now.

Democrats are truly insane. Transgender children. Sheesh.

Or maybe all the Dumb Democrats are totally reasonable and I’m the nutty one for thinking “transgender children” is a totally insane concept.

“”I may watch MSNBC tonight, to see how they cover this story.”””

I go to the msn homepage to look at articles and read the comments which apparently can only be posted by rabid liberals. They don’t allow comments on this story or any other story about the crossdressers.

Gender confusing care. Gender denying care. It’s funny the way the Left uses terms to describe things exactly opposite the way they really are.
