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’m not going to get political but”

    “Gets political”

    “Spouts off right wing talking points”

    “Demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of the transition process”

      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.

            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.

                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?

        it is human experimentation

        No it is not. It is a well thought out medical intervention, with extensively studied effects, and life saving outcomes for trans youth.

        For the most part of this video Vaush debunks every argument that puberty blockers are an experimental treatment https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=HhYruaFZEOI

        American Psychological Organization about young transgender people https://www.apa.org/monitor/2022/07/advocating-transgender-nonbinary-youths

        Or do you think trans people just pop out of thin air as fully grown adults? You understand that trans people once were kids like everybody else right? And finally have you ever spoken to a transgender person and ask what it is like growing up trans? All these ignorant morons fearmonger like this therapy is pushed onto unknowing kids and parents, presented like it is a cool video game. Guess what, people actively seek this therapy for their kids or themselves because they know what it is doing, it stops unwanted sexual features to develop, and it is reversible.

        What was your problem again?

        “confirms a fundamental lack of understanding of the transition process.”

        “Restates more right wing talking points”

        “Gets triggered by their own name when used by a member of a community they just insulted”
