SCOTUS hearing teen transgender case

[Playa]

Lawsuit out of TN is trying to apply the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause to teens seeking gender altering drug treatments

i think with the current court this will not rule in favor of the plaintiffs.

im embarrassed we are to a point that this conversation is even being had.

we fairly universally agree that teens can’t buy alcohol because they lack the ability to make sound choices and that their frontal lobe is not fully developed.

we universally agree that minors can’t buy tobacco because of the long term health effects.

we universally agree that minors can’t get a tattoo because they may make a poor choice that lasts their entire life

and yet we are debating whether a single digit % of teens can decide on their own whether to take a drug treatment that will alter their bodies for their entire lives, and we have no data showing the potential long term health side effects. All because we a sliver of the population wants to force their depravity upon society and if you dare speak up you are a bigot

[TeamAmerica]

Thank God for trumps first term. It is embarrassing that these are the issues we have to litigate - guess we have solved all the other problems!

Ketanji Brown is a straight up activist, the garbage she's going on about is incredible, not impartial at all.

All true, plus you can’t get married or vote until you are 18, but you can get a sex change. Beyond depraved and completely out of all reason !

Clown world.

People for this crap should be hung.

their ignorance is a forfeiture to continue to live and breathe the same air as common sense folk.

[Twist]

I saw earlier that Jackson Brown dude, or whatever it is, tried to compare this crap to interracial marriages.

That guy should just be quiet and revel in the fact that it made a few mediocre songs 40+ years ago.

Listening to the oral arguments on this case lets us know where her thinking is. (Spoiler alert: it’s race)

One of her comments was that this if basically the same as race discrimination. She brought up Loving v. Virginia which was the 1967 case unanimously deciding that a state could not ban interracial marriages. So if a White person could not marry a Black person in Virginia 60 years ago, it’s the same thing is not allowing an 8 year old to get a life altering sex change today that in many or most cases cannot be reversed. Hmmmmm……

The ACLU’s discrimination claim is that if a doctor can prescribe testosterone for a male child because of late puberty or a boy’s body isn’t putting out enough testosterone (low T therapy like many in this forum likely use), then the doctor with the parents’ consent should be able to change a child’s gender with the same testosterone therapy. So if you have a boy who absolutely wants to be a boy and puberty needs to be kick started, then another set of parents needs to be able to change their boy to a girl when he is 8 years old.

🤣

I was typing the same before I read yours.

I also saw a representative of the ACLU who was so proud that a transgender male was making the argument before the Supreme Court. I think it was the FIRST transgender to argue in front of the Supreme Court.

Like their politics, it’s all about checking boxes.

Chief Justice Roberts asked basically, why is this even in front of the Supreme Court? He alluded to the fact that this sounds like a state medical issue and not nine lawyers/justices, none of whom are doctors.

[Man]

The Ketanji Brown argument/comparison was 5th grade level.
i would love to think that all those judges meet afterhours and just rip each other in private.

Well, in her defense, she's not a biologist.

Also, Aspirin has side effects too.

Those liberal justices sound like complete morons.

She did bring up the aspirin comparison. 🤣

I don’t remember if it was specifically aspirin, but she brought up that silly argument about other meds.

Those liberal justices sound like complete morons.

Fixed it for you….

Hopefully Sotomayor tanks during Trumps term.......and Thomas quits and get a younger one in there.....

Yes but I doubt they will find another Clarence Thomas.

The “famously silent” justice went for a decade without asking a single question. 🤣

Rightly or wrongly, his opinion was generally set and he didn’t need a debate to determine his opinion.

In a recent ruling upholding the federal ban on firearms possession if a person is subject to a restraining order (but not even charged in a crime), Thomas said that there is no historical precedent for such a ban so it was unconstitutional but he was alone in the 8-1 decision.
