NEWS: The full Eleventh Circuit, in an 8-5 vote, held that an insurance policy excluding transgender gender-affirming surgical care does not facially violate Title VII b/c — following SCOTUS's Skrmetti reasoning — "it does not treat anyone differently based on a protected characteristic."
In the United States Court of Amperla For the Eleventh Circuit No. 22-13626 ANNA LANGE, versus HOUSTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, HOUSTON COUNTY SHERIFF CULLEN TALTON, in his official capacity, Plaintiff-Appellee, Defendants-Appellants, HOUSTON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS, et al., Defendant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia D.C. Docket No. 5:19-cv-00392-MTT Before WILLIAM PRYOR, Chief Judge, and JORDAN, ROSENBAUM, JILL PRYOR, NEWSOM, BRANCH, GRANT, LUCK, LAGOA, BRASHER, ABUDU, KIDD, and WILSON, * Circuit Judges. BRASHER, Circuit Judge, delivered the opinion of the Court, in which WILLIAM PRYOR, Chief Judge, and NEWSOM, BRANCH, GRANT, LUCK, and LAGOA, Circuit Judges, joined. NEWSOM, Circuit Judge, filed a concurring opinion. ROSENBAUM, Circuit Judge, filed an opinion concurring in the judg-ment. JILL, PRYOR, Circuit Judge, filed a dissenting opinion, in which JORDAN, ABUDU, KIDD, and WILSON, Circuit Judges, joined. ABUDU, Circuit Judge, filed a dissenting opinion. WILSON, Circuit Judge, filed a dissenting opinion, in which ABUDU and KIDD, Circuit Judges, joined We took this appeal en banc to answer whether the insurance policy facially violates Title VII. We conclude that it does not. Many of Lange's arguments have been rejected by the Supreme Court. See United States v. Skrmetti, 145 S. Ct. 1816 (2025). Although the plan does not cover sex change surgeries, it does not treat anyone differently based on a protected characteristic. Because the exclusion is not facially discriminatory under Title VII, we reverse the district court's judgment, vacate the permanent injunction, and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

I can’t stop thinking about how the Access Hollywood tape came out before the election even happened, yet suddenly we have people concerned that the President might have lied about being a sexual predator who were totally fine with it when he told the truth about being a sexual predator

very grim

I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.

So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.

Stop pretending any of this is normal.

If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Be human.

This isn’t about safety. It’s about fear. MAGAs are scared of everything. MAGA keeps shouting “imagine if they were your neighbors.” You know what? They are our neighbors and they’re welcome here. This is about cruelty and control. Nothing more.

I'll say it over and over.

I do not believe in gate keeping.

I do not believe in pulling up the ladder.

I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next.

Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.

Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”

Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Telling an autistic person or the family of an autistic person that there's a "real, normal" version of them hidden by "disease" is exceptionally cruel and manipulative. And if your only solution is conditioning away their stims with fear of punishment, you are not helping.
A lot of really harmful interventions are predicated on the idea that there is a normal non-autistic person hiding underneath an autistic person. Some of these interventions are tied into anti-vaccine ideology that’s been conclusively disproven. Others are behavioral but place a disturbingly large emphasis on the markers of typical appearance—such as increasing eye contact or the reduction of hand flapping or other “stimming”—that don’t benefit autistic people and impose harmful passing demands. All of this puts autistic people at risk and contributes to an environment that is very exploitative of both autistic people and family members.
