The use of puberty blockers and hormones to treat children with gender dysphoria has been banned or restricted in 26 states.

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.

    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?

          Nope. Arms, legs, and disappointment. Sorry bud, I’m real, and I’m shaking my head at you through the internet.

          I also know you’re real cause I know people like you in real life. I’m disappointed in them too.

          Look, all I’m asking is that you fuckin’ start respecting women. All women. Even the women you don’t think are women (which are still women.)

          You’re still alive, so you can still change. Be better than this.
