I wonder if there are any studies of adults who transition later in life, who would give anything to have received care when they were young rather than grow up in misery

What the fuck are "biological pronouns?" This is the dumbest thing I've ever read in service of endorsing the bullying of trans kids. Half the world uses languages that don't have gendered pronouns and these illiterate and ignorant judges are creating entirely nonsensical concepts.
OPINION MURPHY, Circuit Judge. An Ohio public school district bars its students from referring to transgender and nonbinary classmates using the pronouns that match their biological sex if the classmates prefer to go by different pronouns. The plaintiff in this case has parent and student members who believe that a person's sex is immutable. The members want to express this view by using biological pronouns. And they believe that they would convey a falsehood —that a person's gender is fluid—if they use preferred pronouns. So the plaintiff challenged the school district's speech ban on behalf of its members under the First Amendment's Free Speech Clause. This case about pronouns pits two important interests against each other. On the one hand, the school district has prohibited speech (biological pronouns) that expresses a message on a matter of pressing public concern. And because the district requires other speech (preferred pronouns) that expresses a competing view, it has discriminated based on its students' viewpoints. Its approach thus raises serious free-speech concerns. On the other hand, the school district rightly responds that it has a duty to protect all students- including transgender and nonbinary students— from bullying and harassment. And this protection, while necessarily restricting speech, does not violate the Free Speech Clause. So which of these competing concerns should prevail in this case?

A crowd of protestors gather on a sunny autumn day in Minneapolis, yellow leaves are framing the background and A dozen or so protestors are dressed in red cloaks and white bonnets, some with mobility assistive devices and some standing all motionless in formation create a chilling live performance referencing “the handmaids’ tale” Someone standing next to the handmaids group holds a hand drawn sign that reads “Kings will never silence QUEENS… imagine hating immigrants more than pedophiles” #NoKings 10/18/2025 Someone holds up a large, hand painted sign on a sunny autumn day, with hundreds of protesters marching by in the background in downtown Minneapolis. The sign depicts Donald J Trump’s neck wearing suit and tie, and reads in large letters “Grab ‘em by the Nussy”
