Will There Be More Litigation On “Transgender” Treatments For Kids Despite SCOTUS Ruling?
As we know, with the left it’s never over until it’s over.
I appeared yesterday on one of my favorite radio shows, The Tony Katz Show.
The main topic was the Supreme Court ruling on the Tennessee ban on “transgender” treatments for kids. We also talked about the Equal Protection Project and a case we recently filed against the University of Louisville (more on that in a separate post to come).
Sorry, but no full transcript this time, but it’s only 13 minutes so you’ll have to listen. It’s not like you have anything else to do, right?
Here’s my answer to the question of whether this puts the issue to bed nationally:
This should put an end to it, at least on Federal constitutional challenges to state laws. Now there could be a state law that is restricting treatments for minors which by its terms is unreasonable, which goes beyond this, which doesn’t have a rational basis. So it ends the legal discussion. It doesn’t end the factual discussion whether a particular state law was worse or more egregious or more harsh than Tennessee. I mean, Tennessee’s was pretty far reaching. So it’s hard to understand how that would happen. It should settle the legal question, but it would not settle applying that law to a particular statute.
So while I don’t think it’s going to end litigation, because as we know, it’s never over until it’s over, it should more or less end the litigations, assuming other states have statutes that are substantively similar to Tennessee,

These ‘doctors’ should have their heads on pikes. That would end this lunacy quickly.
I would settle for lawyers on TV advertising for clients who have been harmed.
I, for one, am firmly against putting heads on pikes.
Instead I suggest that these “doctors” should be required to undergo these same medical procedures/transformations themselves.
And then sent to live on an island somewhere.
They basically leave it to state legislatures, so yes the crazies will keep at it.
In an interview outside the court that ACLU lawyer chic, Ms Strangio, was quite clear that the ruling meant nothing and the fight for child mutilation would continue.
Can anyone explain why the US Government continues funding the ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law Center?
The time to DOGE these two grifters is now.
The thing which has always struck with the left’s lawfare is that they will claim it is never settled when they are losing. As soon as the left wins a legal point, especially at the Supreme Court, it is settled law and cannot be challenged again. The Colorado cake case is best example. Less than a week after losing at Supreme Court, the state filed against the same business for essentially the same issue.
Why does this headline call sterilization and sexual mutilation and psychological abuse of children “Transgender Treatments”? These are NOT ‘treatments’. They are assualts, worthy of the harshest criminal and civil penalties. Do better Legal Insurrection. Thank you 🙏.
“As we know, with the left it’s never over until it’s over.”
Um…no. We don’t know that.
In my experience, with the left, it’s never over.
Yes- It’s a winning issue to divide the country.
Look to Wa, Or, Ca to cling to this strategy. T
They aren’t content with one party rule, they want to drive ever dissident from their population and this is a very effective issue to get people who oppose them to leave
I envision more scrotum rulings in the pipeline.
As I understand it, SCOTUS’s ruling states that the TN ban on the procedures did not violate the equal protection clause of 14A. So to bring another challenge to would require a different argument, and anyone and everyone is free to make such arguments but there is, in practicality, no claim other than equal protection. And that avenue has been closed off.
However, if other states permit the treatment, then SCOTUS’s ruling has no affect since it did not address the procedure itself, even though they acknowledged the public policy reasons TN put forth for the ban.
There will be more litigation, though not in the way the ACLU and pro-mutilation mouthpieces want. I predict that there will be a wave of malpractice lawsuits against the docs, advocates, teachers, public health, hospitals that will rival what the Clinton administration empowered the trial lawyers to do to Big Tobacco. That wave will be closely followed by a similar wave of lawsuits against everything COVID. Should be a lot of fun. Cheers –
I expect more Federal District Judges to continue litigation even though it will be killed by SCOTUS. It is clear that many Federal District Judges are doing things that have been killed by SCOTUS, are against the Constitution, are against written Law, and they do not care about what they are doing to the Judiciary and how people are reacting.
There are plenty of other states where people can take their kids to get castrated or spayed.
I just don’t understand how doctors can get malpractice insurance to cover mutilation of children, when the kids can grow up and realize what’s been done to them and sue.
