Supreme Court upholds Tennessee's ban on transgender hormone disruption for minors 6-3

This subject is difficult for me. On one hand, it seems reasonable that a person should be a legal adult before making a life altering medical decision. On the other hand, I'm not transgender and don't know what that inner conflict feels like. My trans friends tell me that to some extent they always felt like their gender didn't match their sex. As a pansexual person who has known that I am not straight for almost all of my life, I understand the sentiment. I can't imagine what it feels like to live in a body that doesn't feel like it's mine. I also can't imagine forcing a self aware being of any age to suffer through constant agony because people who have almost nothing in common with me passed a law discriminating against my self identity. It is a complex issue, and the fact that the Supreme Court's ruling was ideological/political does not help anything.

Oh, look, a coming out.

I always suspected you were an old queen.


A pansexual person is someone who experiences attraction – whether romantic, sexual, or emotional – to individuals regardless of their gender identity. This means they can be attracted to people of any gender, including those who identify as male, female, transgender, non-binary, or any other gender identity.

There is some agreement here, though I am straight and not pansexual. I struggle with this one. I truly believe folks should be able to do what they want with their own self... as adults.

With folks saying their infants are "trans" in some extreme cases I can see why laws like this are passed to protect children from the follies of parents who pressure children with "support" to do things that are irreversible. Factitious disorder imposed on another is a thing that children need protection from, and parents can often convince kids of the strangest things. (Gypsy Rose Blanchard comes to mind).

I support adults making these decisions for themselves.

I do not even think that laws that allow parents to okay "marriage" for minors are copacetic, such laws allow adults in religious conclaves take advantage of minors, so why would I think that we need even parents to make these decisions for minors, or even allow minors to make lifelong surgical-altering decisions?

I don't care either but they expect taxpayers to fund it. That has been stopped in the military.

They can no longer mutilate children now.

You fucking idiot. Pansexual has been in my profile since I joined this site 5 years ago. Seriously, does anything useful ever fall out of your toothless mouth?
