Clarification: The age restrictions are per California law. I am not aware of the laws in other states.

If SCOTUS doesn’t fully understand gender affirming care, how can they make a ruling regarding such?

If you ever read this, sit down with the families in Tennessee who brought this case to the Supreme Court. Listen to the parents and kids tell their story. You told your story, now listen to theirs.

Parents are usually still involved unless there are safety concerns (i.e., abusive households).

Justice Thomas didn’t give a clear definition of gender affirming care and seems to think it only focuses on medication and surgery.

That’s legally and ethically not possible. From the APA’s perspective, children under the age of 12 cannot receive mental health treatment without parental consent. Children 12 years of age and older can receive *mental health treatment* if they show they are intellectually capable of such.

Furthermore, transitioning is a very lengthy process that takes place over years. I have yet to see Conservatives acknowledge this process. President Trump himself has spread the misinformation that parents send their kids to school and come back home the same day having received surgery.

Where’s the place for discussion or analysis? The ruling says leading scientific experts are wrong. This is a binary ideological argument with SCOTUS saying they know better and not acknowledging the voices of those directly impacted.
