“The Supreme Court has been hearing a case over a law in Tennessee that restricts puberty blockers for children. Judging by the early reports, it doesn’t seem to have turned out quite as the trans extremists had intended. Bringing these cases to court – and allowing the public to hear the crazy arguments made in favour of irreversible and risky medical treatments for children – is surely one of the most effective ways to collapse the entire gender ideology house of cards.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and its trans-identified lawyer, Chase Strangio, have sought to argue that it is discriminatory under the constitution for Tennessee to impose the ban. Their case hinges on the idea that it violates the 14th amendment, which bars discrimination based on sex.
It is surely not sex under scrutiny in this case, however, but gender identity. And a single question during Wednesday’s hearings blew up the ACLU’s whole argument – as well as exposing the lunacy of gender ideology more generally.

Conservative justice Samuel Alito asked Strangio whether transgender status is immutable. In other words, is it something that cannot be changed?  “I think that the record shows that the discordance between a person’s birth sex and gender identity has a strong biological basis and would satisfy an immutability test,” replied Strangio.
But how can that be? Isn’t the trans cabal’s entire belief system built on the idea that gender identity is “fluid” – that an individual’s feelings should be promoted above the facts of their biology, even to the extent that people can legitimately identify as a different gender on different days of the week?
And how does Strangio explain the growing numbers of detransitioners? Does he think that they are now in denial about the “discordance” between their “birth sex and gender identity”? Or would he prefer that they just kept quiet?

The writer Ben Appel was part of the anti-gender ideology crowd gathered outside the court on Wednesday. He grew up in a Christian fundamentalist community and suffered extreme anti-gay prejudice. He eventually escaped and ended up in a cult at the progressive university he attended. “For years, the valid concerns and heart-wrenching testimonies of detransitioners, parents, paediatricians, therapists and whistleblowers have gone largely ignored by medical associations and the activist organisations they bankroll,” he said. “And clinicians continue to mislead parents and subject their children to this profound medical harm.”

In an interview with CNN, Strangio asserted that removing parents’ right to put their children on an irreversible medical pathway was “sex discrimination” despite the fact that transgender-identified people rely on gender identity. “Our argument is that it treats people differently because of their sex. And therefore, the court has to treat it like all other forms of sex discrimination. And that’s why it’s unconstitutional,” said Strangio.

When asked whether, if their case won, it would have a knock-on effect in allowing men who identify as women to claim constitutionally-based access to women’s bathrooms, locker rooms and sports, Strangio not only denied that this would happen but said: “I obviously disagree with that premise that allowing transgender women into women’s sports or bathrooms is a threat to women.” And there we have it. The safety of women and girls is less important than the feelings of men.
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health commissioned Johns Hopkins University to perform a systematic evidence review on the use of so-called gender medicine for children, which it suppressed publication of when it concluded the treatment was harmful.

Justice Alito added that the Cass Report found no evidence that gender medicine prevents suicide, to which Strangio replied: “Completed suicide is thankfully and admittedly rare.”  Strangio just told the world what was already known. A movement which threatens suicide if it fails to get what it wants is a cult.
Courts of justice are currently the only places where gender ideologues are obliged to answer questions, and as a consequence, the public can hear the madness and danger it entails. I hope that, if the ACLU loses, the next step will be criminal charges against those medics and parents that cause children irreversible harm.”
