Summary
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Indiana’s law banning puberty blockers and hormones for transgender minors, aligning with similar laws in 26 GOP-led states.
Plaintiffs argued the law discriminates based on sex and interferes with parental rights to direct medical treatment for their children, but the 2-1 ruling dismissed these claims.
The court stated the law applies equally to all minors and parents don’t have unrestricted rights to medical treatments.
This decision comes as the Supreme Court prepares to review a similar Tennessee case, potentially setting a nationwide precedent.
And they also say nothing about
circumcision
intersex infant normalization surgeries
ongoing breast enhancement surgeries for cis girls
Republicans did not ban those, nor they did minor marriages, but I will keep to the surgery related arguments.
At the same time, puberty blockers for cis kids with precocious puberty goes on as before. They only designate the transgender use as “off-license” with unknown long term side-effects.
How the fuck gender identity is supposed to interact with the exact same drug? This is pure hokum.
But you know the problem is that only you and me will read that. Vast majority of people are spoonfed transphobic propaganda from TERFs and Xitter. It is sickening how hard it is to get those simple talk points across nowadays.
They can’t even justify circumcision. Every piece of medical literature that used to claim benefits has been refuted. And no shit, we evolved foreskins for a reason.
Too late for me though.
It’s not necessarily too late. There’s a nonsurgical method to regrow your foreskin with a bit of time and patience, and several companies sell devices for the purpose.
Here’s a video showing the process. (NSFW content about 1/3 of the way through)
Yeah, no thanks.
