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.

    I did not say I am not going to. the point of that statement is to point out how abnormal it is for me to weigh in on a political issue and how egregious I believe this to be, and I absolutely do not care if it is right left up or down, this should not be politicized, it is human experimentation.

      Hi, I’m a trans woman and I just wanna say that the name you chose for yourself suits you really well well!

        K. That is a character assassination. Not a necessary argument for people with valid arguments.

          Hey, I just like how you picked out your name. It’s a compliment. Why do you gotta be so toxic about yourself? Is it the brain full of hatred? I bet it’s the brain full of hatred.

          Best of luck with *gestures at everything*.

          Consider possibly not making trans peoples’ lives harder, yeah? Don’t contribute to that.

            And that is picking a fight also not a valid argument.

            As for making trans lives worse quite frankly your life is less important than children. You wanted a fight right?

              Hey, chum, I’m just trying to be uplifting, you wanna come at me with fights, I’m trying to give you a compliment. No wonder you’re not getting laid if you try to fight every woman who says something nice about you.

                And I don’t even know the point of that one is. Except to call me a virgin? Are you saying that is a bad thing? Not very politically correct.

                  Alright, you can’t take a compliment. Maybe no one has given you a compliment before me?

                  I like your name.

                  No wonder people think you’re insufferable, when you act like this to some chick who just likes your name.

                  I’d say go get laid, but you like to fight, so maybe go box someone? Get that anger out?
