    In a 6-3 decision, the SCOTUS has upheld the State of Tennessee's ban on transgender youth medical care:

    From NBC News:

    WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a Tennessee law restricting gender transition care for minors, delivering a major blow to transgender rights.

    The 6-3 ruling is likely to have a broad impact as 24 other states have already enacted laws similar to the one in Tennessee, which bars gender transition surgery, puberty blockers and hormone therapy.

    Those laws now look set to survive similar legal challenges. The ruling does not affect states that do not have such bans, meaning care in those states will still be available.

    The court in an opinion authored by Chief Justice John Roberts concluded that the Tennessee law does not constitute a form of sex discrimination that would violate the Constitution's 14th Amendment.

    Im so old I remember when conservative politicians who opposed government funded health insurance were saying that it would lead to politicians telling doctors how to practice medicine. They were right only it's conservative politicians afflicted with the real TDS (transgender derangement syndrome) who are telling medical professionals how to practice medicine.
