Democrats and the left are fighting against a Tennessee law that prohibits minors from receiving “gender-affirming care,” a euphemism for sex hormones treatment (chemical castration) and surgical mutilation of healthy children.
The left is not leaving this transgender matter to the legislative and executive branches to decide. And the left is certainly not letting the will of the people decide, either. The LGBTQ community and its loudest, most mentally ill voices, are carrying the transgender issue all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. They’re that dug in on the “right” of minor-age children to whack off body parts and ingest hormone-altering drugs with lifelong consequences that they are willing to wage the battle in the nation’s highest court. Think about that. That’s some kind of evil.
On Dec. 4, 2024 the Supreme Court justices will hear arguments in United States v. Skermetti, to determine the constitutional aspects of a Tennessee law that prohibits minors from receiving what’s been dubbed as “gender-affirming care” — which is to say hormone treatment, surgery, genital mutilation and the like — which is all to say: the destruction of one’s body.
Currently, 26 states have laws that ban minors from making these decisions, according to ABA Journal. The key word here is “law.” Legislators backed by the will of the people and with the cooperation or even coordination of the executive branch put pen to paper to flush out the details of the bans; held hearings on the proposed legislation; listened to various interested parties on the proposed legislation; went through the process of voting on the proposed legislation; in some cases, amended the proposed legislation and started at step one with the new version; then brought the legislation to the desk of the governor, who ultimately signed it into law.
Contrast that with the LGBTQ crowd.
– With the lunatic fringe screaming in the streets from pink-and-blue-haired types who protest any move this country makes toward sanity and morality.
– With the medical bureaucrats who abuse their positions and make a mockery of their own intellectual achievements by advocating on behalf of parents who want to medically malpractice their children — who want to destroy what God created — and who claim with unsmiling faces that sex is not affixed at birth but is rather a choice and moreover, that the choice includes upwards of 20 pronouns.
Contrast that with the teeny, tiny, teeny and tiny percentage of those in this nation who are part of the transgender movement, but who have nevertheless been elevated to positions of Speaking For The Majority.
On one side is law and sanity and the protection of the most vulnerable. On the other is chaos and confusion and mental illness leading to the destruction of the most vulnerable.
Sex is something that is assigned at birth, by God, and as the Tennessee law makes clear, is the “immutable characteristics of the reproductive system that define the individual as male or female, as determined by anatomy and genetics existing at the time of birth.”
You can’t just operate away sex.
Those who think they can — or those who want to try — are psychologically distressed. And youth should never be subjected to the guidance and dictates and influences and promptings of the psychologically deranged. That used to be called abuse. The LGBTQ crowd calls it freedom.
“Violations of the Tennessee law are punishable by civil penalties of $25,000 for each prohibited prescription or treatment, by professional discipline and by potential civil liability in private suits,” ABA Journal wrote, of the Skermetti case.
That’s severe. But maybe not severe enough.
Medical professionals who perform these surges on youth should have their licenses stripped. Parents who let their minor age children go through these medical procedures should face social service intervention, and possible loss of of custody of abused child.
