Kavanaugh also brings up "detransitioners," people who "regret" their decision to transition genders. Like Alito, he cites European countries that are "pulling back" from gender-affirming care for minors, saying it's a "yellow light" or "red light" for the court that Europe is "pumping the brakes."

Can Dark Biden add 5 Justices and an ethics board with term limits before January?
And not agree solution rush to hormones or plasic surgery.
Mastectomy for 14 year old.
Sterlization.
Much Counseling!
Does she have to wear I sign that says: "The Speaker said I have to be here, because I was a Man"?
So how do I read the other 501 comments?
Everyone just stop. If it's not your child, it's none of your business
I know I am much different than I was as a teenager. Also, what about freak parents who want a boy instead of a girl or visa versa? I am for trans rights but have concerns for teens.
Help!
Also, as stated in another comment, less than 1% of trans kids regret their decision.
Thank you for responding. I am sure there are more like me who just don't have the knowledge to form an opinion.
They need HRT to survive (in a very literal sense, they need store bought).
It must be testosterone because estrogen wreaks havoc in their body (7+ years of life-stopping chronic pain & misery immediately solved by uterus yeeting).

They continue to not understand their job.
Suicidality is not the same as suicide.

Where is his concern for comparison there?
But not have the right to regret an informed medical decision?
Like actual numbers. Demos, a complete breakdown of how many, per state, have been placed on transition meds as well as the number of “detransitioners” which is not a thing, btw. So how many changed their minds, lets say. Raw data or it’s all BS.
This is quite different than claiming that 2yo knows she/he is in a wrong body despite nothing being physically wrong.
Let’s get 32 hour work weeks, universal health care, assault weapon bans, and age 60 retirement if we’re looking at Europe to be a flag bearer
I’m sorry you read so much into it
(still provide peer review journals as evidence, they will not read it)
Just in every answer tie in one of those 3 amendments and you shall win
The argument for this issue, gay marriage, and abortion should all be fought under Amendment 1 free exercise of religion, 9 Amendment and 14 Amendment to protect the other two amendments.
Time for balance here. Time for benevolent caution.
Everything he’s ever done contributed directly to making him one of the 9 most powerful lawyers in the country.
It was literally the best possible outcome for Trumpist politics.

These people are fine with sky high trans suicide rates.They don’t care
These guys are assholes who are making it up as they go along.
These people are such boring liars and nobody is curious enough to find out.
Truly can’t see how we can beat the level of misinformation that currently exists globally
And yet the one the fascists want to stop is the one that will save lives, will prevent self-unaliving.
It’s all about control!
