LGBT extremistsTennessee Governor Bill Lee (Republican) ratified Republican bill to protect children in the state from gender mutilation and puberty-blocking substances in March 2023. Three teenage transvestites and their parents, then I participated The Biden Justice Department has sued states seeking to put antibacterial puberty blockers and transformative hormone therapy back on children's menus.
The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments for and against the Republican amputation ban on Wednesday. The court's decision could ultimately lead to the tightening or proliferation of similar bans in dozens of other states.
Ahead of the high court hearing, a bearded woman from the American Civil Liberties Union, the extremist organization representing the plaintiffs, appeared.
explained On Tuesday, she told CNN why she felt the law should be repealed, arguing that at one point even a young child could tell that she was cross-dressing.
Chase Strangio, a cross-dressing ACLU lawyer and former Kate who will argue against the Tennessee law before the Supreme Court, told Talking Head Jake Tapper that the case is “a watershed moment for transgender people across the country.” That's what we're going to do.'' During the election period, transgender people played a large role in the public consciousness as a threat to others in terms of our situation. ”
This election served to highlight Americans' increasing rejection of gender ideology and radical LGBT policies.

noticed An analysis conducted by Future Forward, failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris' top super PAC, found that campaign ads with the tagline “Kamala is for them. President Trump is for you” led to the campaign. We found that it moved by nearly 3 percentage points. Courtesy of President-elect Donald Trump. Before announcing his resignation, Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa used his fellow travelers' electoral failures as the basis for effectively stating that “a large portion of the population” does not support extreme “transgender” policies. I admitted it.
Some Democrats may be shocked, but it's no secret that the tide is turning. a
Washington poll after KFF Last year, it was found that 57% of Americans say gender is determined biologically. 68% oppose the use of puberty blockers by children. 58% oppose hormone treatment for teens. And 62% said male cross-dressers should not be allowed to compete in women's sports.
“If you look at a map of states that ban this type of science-based medicine, we went from zero states in 2020 to over half the country now.” Mr. Strangio continued.
ACLU attorneys have indicated they intend to argue in the high court that Tennessee's law, Senate Bill 1, is a form of sex discrimination.
When Tapper raised the question of whether there was enough data to prove that gender reassignment treatment for children is beneficial, Strangio said, “We believe this has significant benefits for adolescents.'' “We have decades of clinical experience and research data to show that it is medical.” That's what I need. ”
Strangio apparently missed the memo on this matter.
Cass reviewThe same paper found earlier this year that there is “no reliable evidence for making clinical decisions or for children and their families to make informed choices” regarding so-called gender science.
A large-scale, multi-year review commissioned by NHS England found that most of the 'research' underpinning so-called gender science was of 'poor quality', with 'poor study designs, insufficient follow-up and lack of objective reporting of results'. It became clear that there was a lack of sexuality. . ”
In the case of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones being forced on children, the study found that their use was “unproven and the benefits and harms are unknown”.
“This makes it difficult for clinicians to decide whether these treatments are appropriate treatments to offer, as well as to provide informed support to children, young people and families. It is also difficult to provide sufficient information to make choices,” the review said. “Disclosure obligations are complicated by many 'unknown unknowns' regarding the long-term effects of puberty blockers and masculinizing and feminizing hormones during a dynamic period of development when gender identity may not be established. ”
Mr. Strangio suggested to Mr. Tapper that confusion in young children can be managed and that in some cases, life-changing drugs are the “best” treatment.
“Doctors want to treat patients the best way they know how, based on the best evidence available to us,” Strangio said. “And these are young people who may have known exactly who they were since they were two years old, and they suffered for six or seven years before getting relief. And here's what happened. Is it happening? It's not the kids who are consenting to this treatment. It's the parents who are consenting to the treatment.”
Journalist Mia Hughes highlighted in her article
242 page reportAccording to a paper published in March by Michael Shellenberger's think tank Environmental Progress, Diane Berg, a member of the World Association of Transgender Health Professionals and co-author of the children's chapter of the organization's Standard of Care 8, , adolescents are not mature enough to understand “how much some of these medical interventions are affecting them'' and lack the health literacy necessary to understand treatments. Some parents are
“What really worries me is that parents won't tell me what I need to know about medical interventions that they supposedly consented to,” Berg said.
“As a parent, I can tell you that when our children are suffering, we are suffering,” Strangio said. “And these are parents who love their children, listen to the advice of their doctors and the mainstream medical community, and do what's right for them for the children in their state. … Tennessee overturned.”
Those seeking to prevent or ameliorate suffering may consider the following points from the Cass review:
- “Systematic reviews show no clear evidence that social transitions in childhood have positive or negative mental health outcomes, and the evidence for any effects in adolescence is relatively weak.”
- Puberty blockers impair bone density and have no appreciable effect on “gender dysphoria or body satisfaction.”
- “Insufficient and/or inconsistent evidence for the effects of puberty suppression on gender dysphoria, mental and psychosocial health, cognitive development, cardiometabolic risk, and fertility.”
- “There is a lack of high-quality research evaluating the influence of hormones on masculinization and feminization in adolescents with gender dysphoria and nonconformity, and few studies have included long-term follow-up.” and
- So-called gender-affirming care is an “area where the evidence is significantly weaker”.
Other studies have similarly demonstrated the effects of the drugs Strangio wants to make available to children. for example,
2022 survey A paper published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy confirms that puberty blockers have a negative effect on bone density and adds to “growing evidence that they have negative effects on cognitive and emotional development, as well as sexual function.'' ” he pointed out.

noticed In February, the state “acted reasonably, rationally, and considerately to protect children, and this law withstands any level of review. No provision in the Constitution allows the petitioners to seek Congress's judgment.” It does not serve as a substitute for ignoring policies and demanding policies that are considered more advantageous.'' To do otherwise would violate “this nation's deepest tradition of looking to democracy to answer pioneering public policy questions.'' ”
