The United States Supreme Court handed our country yet another common sense, morally upright ruling that will help protect our nation’s children from the sick and twisted clutches of gender ideology and its proponents. Isn’t it sad we actually need to have the highest court in the land issue a legal ruling on mutilating children’s private parts?
On Wednesday, SCOTUS upheld a ban passed by lawmakers in Tennessee concerning transgender surgeries and chemical procedures for underage children. Conservatives made the case that the opinion of medical professionals should stand behind those of parents and legal guardians.
In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court essentially sent a signal to all states in the Union that they may pursue this same kind of ban related to transgender care for minors. As you can already imagine, this is not a popular policy with liberals. Like it or not, another 26 states have already put similar laws in place.
“This case carries with it the weight of fierce scientific and policy debates about the safety, efficacy, and propriety of medical treatments in an evolving field. The voices in these debates raise sincere concerns; the implications for all are profound,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion. “The Equal Protection Clause does not resolve these disagreements. Nor does it afford us license to decide them as we see best.”
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in a dissenting opinion, said that the decision “abandons transgender children and their families to political whims.”
“The ruling comes as states wrestle with the complexities of accommodating transgender residents while respecting the rights of parents and conservatives who oppose granting minors the ability to pursue life-altering medical procedures. The debate has played out over bathroom accommodates, women’s sports, and federal funding,” Trending Politics News said.
Increasingly, the U.S. is on an island compared to global approaches toward transgender procedures for minors. Last month the U.K.’s top court ruled that transgender women, or biological men, can be excluded from participating in certain groups or gender-exclusive facilities such as locker rooms and homeless shelters. Trans activists cast the decision as an affront to their civil rights.
The Supreme Court has discerned between far-left positions on transgender accommodations and civil rights which are more closely contested in the court of public opinion, suggesting justices are not immune from the impact their rulings have on Americans.
Just five years ago, SCOTUS handed down a decision saying that transgender individuals are prohibited from discrimination in the workplace. Those who are concerned the latest ruling will have an adverse impact on that previous decision can breathe easy as it will not affect it in any way.
The legislation passed by Tennessee places a specific ban on hormone therapy and puberty blockers for kids who are under the age of 18. However, it does allow for the drugs to be used for other purposes outside of gender dysphoria. This is a disorder where one feels they are a different gender than the one assigned by God and nature.
“The red state’s law, passed in 2023, was challenged by the Biden administration, but shortly after President Trump took office the U.S. Department of Justice announced it was reversing its stance,” the report concluded.
