The Supreme Court is set to hear one of the most important trans rights cases in history on Wednesday, with the nation’s highest court set to decide whether a state-level ban on gender-affirming care for minors is an unconstitutional form of sex discrimination.
The ban in question, passed by Tennessee’s Republican-led legislature in the form of SB1, prevents doctors from prescribing puberty blockers, hormone treatment or surgery to minors experiencing gender dysphoria. The same medications can be prescribed to cisgender teens who go through puberty too early or too late, but not for those who feel uncomfortable with their assigned gender.
We’re about to see just how much they value personal liberty vs. the power of the state.
There’s no way they stop the states from deciding
That what state you live in determines what rights you get has been the conservative position since before the Civil War.
If I would live in a red state, I already would have moved to a blue one and started to organise people to demonstrate for the state leaving US and getting an independent state. I would not want to live in such a facist country like USA is right now…
I’m so fucking lucky to live where I do…
Independent state? Nah, they’re imploding on their own.
