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.

We're in Indiana. One of my daughter's close friends is trans. The school system treats him like shit already. He has to change with the girls and use the girls' bathroom. Once, a girl was being a bigot to him over and over and he finally lost it and slapped her. He got in trouble, she did not.

I wish I could help him somehow. He's such a sweet kid.

Cool, more teen suicides. Probably even pre-teens.

Less teens to get shot at school!

Much like book bans in school libraries that have moved to city libraries and all the other bans that started in schools, this will soon move from bans on children getting healthcare, to bans on adults getting healthcare once they use the "save the children" rhetoric to make their followers comfortable with the prejudices in general.

Yeah, Missouri tried to include adults with autism from getting gender care.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, that's one reason I'll never get an official Autism diagnosis. The misinformation about autism that politicians work with is gross. I mostly blame the companies like Autism Speaks who present it as a disease to be cured so parents don't feel bad about making their kids mask rather than most forms being simply a sociologically induced disability because people are too lazy to adapt and too many exploitative social practices exist that neurotypicals can adapt to easily, but many neurodivergent people can't and they don't want to give up the exploitation.

Absolutely. The plan is no more gender affirming care for trans people period.

Trans erasure in action.

I hope denying healthcare to children was worth owning the libs.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 14 hours ago

They didn’t give a shit about children getting slaughtered in schools for decades. They won’t start caring now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

These are children they would be happy with just dying because they're "choosing" to be queer "against the will of god."
