Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear US v Skrmetti on December 4, a pivotal case on whether transgender youth have a constitutional right to gender-affirming healthcare.
Tennessee is defending its ban on such care using testimony from six “expert” doctors, most of whom have been discredited in past court cases as biased and inexperienced.
Critics, including medical associations, argue the ban denies life-saving, evidence-based treatments.
The ruling could have profound implications for trans rights, bodily autonomy, and state control over healthcare, echoing parallels to abortion rights restrictions.
This kind of thing is constant. Anti-trans pieces of shit will often use discredited doctors or doctors from completely different fields or doctors they paid to say those things or doctors they specifically looked for while passing by all the actually knowledgeable doctors on the subject or the friends of people doing studies who happen to be doctors and are transphobes. They never use actual good data and studies and testimony because if they did it would show they’re wrong.
