Yesterday, the Supreme Court issued its 6-3 ruling upholding a Tennessee ban on transgender medical treatments for adolescents. The ruling has major implications for pending transgender cases, particularly the concurrence of Justice Amy Coney Barrett rejecting the claim that transgender status qualifies as a group entitled to heightened scrutiny under the Constitution. One of those cases just resulted in a major ruling in Boston against the move by the Trump Administration to restore the binary options of “male” and “female” sex designations on U.S. passports.
District Judge Julia Kobick’s ruling extended her earlier decision that the Trump Administration cannot limit Americans to male or female genders on passports. Judge Kobick ruled that the executive order by President Donald Trump reflects irrational animus toward transgender citizens and violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution as well as federal statutory law. In reaching that conclusion, the court adopted a number of positions that go beyond existing precedent of the Supreme Court. Now, with the decision in United States v. Skrmetti, her analysis seems even more uncertain and challengeable.
United States passports historically required a designation of either “M” or “F.” However, in 1992, the government allowed people to submit evidence of surgical reassignment as proof of sex. In 2010, that option was changed to discard the required proof of surgical reassignment and instead allow a physician’s certification of appropriate clinical treatment for gender transition.
Then, in 2022, President Joe Biden changed the passport application forms to include an “X” gender marker option in addition to “M” and “F.” It also added a checkbox to indicate a change in their gender. Id. The resulting changes impacted DS-11 (new passport), DS-82 (passport renewal), and DS-5504 (data correction, name change, and limited validity passport) in allowing an option “X.” However, those forms expired on April 30, 2025.
On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump reversed the Biden policy and issued Executive Order 14,168, declaring that “It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.”
The EO also provides that certain definitions “shall govern all Executive interpretation of and application of Federal law and administration policy.” Id. Those definitions include:
“Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female. “Sex” is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of “gender identity.” . . .
(d) “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.
(e) “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell. . . .
(g) “Gender identity” reflects a fully internal and subjective sense of self, disconnected from biological reality and sex and existing on an infinite continuum, that does not provide a meaningful basis for identification and cannot be recognized as a replacement for sex.
Notably, the EO directed the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to “provide to the U.S. Government, external partners, and the public clear guidance expanding on the sex-based definitions set forth in this order.” Id. at 8,616. HHS did so, Defining Sex, HHS (Defining Sex) (Feb. 19, 2025), https://perma.cc/9DNS-CHSZ, and concluded:
“Sex is a person’s immutable biological classification as either male or female”
“Female is a person of the sex characterized by a reproductive system with the biological function of producing eggs (ova)”; and
“Male is a person of the sex characterized by a reproductive system with the biological function of producing sperm.”
Judge Kobick, however, agreed with the transgender plaintiffs that the return to the prior designation of only male and female options was discriminatory and arbitrary. She rejected the arguments of the Trump Administration that, if this matter is even reviewable, it should be reviewed under a rational basis test – the lowest standard of review in such cases. It noted that gender identity has never been found to be a suspect class by the Supreme Court. However, the court applied the intermediate test, requiring the government to demonstrate that its actions are substantially related to an important governmental interest.” It found that it failed this test despite the government arguing at length that the change is based on a need for uniformity and continuity in federal forms. The court found in her earlier April ruling that:
“Viewed as a whole, the language of the Executive Order is candid in its rejection of the identity of an entire group—transgender Americans—who have always existed and have long been recognized in, among other fields, law and the medical profession.”
In one of the more notable lines, Judge Kobick found that “[e]ven assuming a preliminary injunction inflicts some constitutional harm on the Executive Branch, such harm is the consequence of the State Department’s adoption of a Passport Policy that likely violates the constitutional rights of thousands of Americans.”
The court seemed to treat this as the balancing of interests between two parties. “Constitutional harm on the Executive Branch” sounds like a violation of Article II authority. The court is suggesting that, while this may violate Article II, it has an even greater impact on these individuals. The Administration cited cases like Gore v. Lee, 107 F.4th 548, 561 (6th Cir. 2024) that have recognized that the government has a legitimate interest “in maintaining a consistent, historical, and biologically based definition of sex.” See also Corbitt v. Sec’y of the Ala. Law Enf’t Agency, 115 F.4th 1335, 1348 (11th Cir. 2024) (recognizing a “State’s interest in ensuring consistency with the State’s existing requirements for amending a birth certificate” by “‘objectively defining sex’ for purposes of driver’s license designations”).
The court also brushes aside the prior precedent giving presidents great deference in matters related to foreign relations and entry into the United States.
The Supreme Court left room for possible challenges by transgender litigants. Chief Justice John Roberts does write that “The Equal Protection Clause does not resolve these disagreements.” However, the Court found that there was no discrimination on the basis of transgender status and noted that “absent a showing that SB1’s prohibitions are pretexts designed to effect invidious discrimination against transgender individuals, the law does not classify on the basis of transgender status.”
Yet, the majority writes that “This Court has not previously held that transgender individuals are a suspect or quasisuspect class. And this case, in any event, does not raise that question because SB1 does not classify on the basis of transgender status.” That is precisely what Judge Kobick did. In her concurrence, Justice Amy Coney Barrett directly rejected the claim in a blow to transgender litigants who might have hoped that she could be a swing vote. Barrett wrote that:
The Sixth Circuit held that transgender individuals do not constitute a suspect class, and it was right to do so.3 To begin, transgender status is not marked by the same sort of “‘obvious, immutable, or distinguishing characteristics’” as race or sex.
…Nor is the transgender population a “discrete group,” as our cases require.
…The boundaries of the group, in other words, are not defined by an easily ascertainable characteristic that is fixed and consistent across the group. Finally, holding that transgender people constitute a suspect class would require courts to oversee all manner of policy choices normally committed to legislative discretion.
…The conclusion that transgender individuals do not share the “obvious, immutable, or distinguishing characteristics” of “a discrete group” is enough to demonstrate that transgender status does not define a suspect class.
…The Equal Protection Clause does not demand heightened judicial scrutiny of laws that classify based on transgender status. Rational-basis review applies, which means that courts must give legislatures flexibility to make policy in this area.
While that was a concurrence with only Justice Thomas, it likely speaks to the view of a three or four other members on the Court. It makes the Boston opinion even more precarious as it goes forward on appeal.
Heck, just change the name of the box from sex to 23rd chromosome pair and either it’s XX or XY.
Most people would have no clue what their chromosomes are.
Why not just a complete genetic map at birth. It’s like fingerprints.
Or 1 in 1000, XXY.
In biology, the definition of a male mammal is the presence of a Y chromosome, regardless of how many copies of X there may be. The development of secondary sexual characteristics or sex organs is also irrelevant. There have been experiments in androgens on male rabbit fetuses and young, in which rabbits developed female sex organs. They were still classified as males.
Changing a phenotype does not affect genotype in mammals.
Not only are intersex mammals classified male or female by the presence, or absence, of a Y chromosome, but homo sapiens are mammals.
Gender is not a state of mind. That relies upon stereotypes, like boys play with weapons and girls play with dollies. If a boy plays with a doll, he’s still a boy. If he wears a dress, grows his hair long, speaks in a high voice, and otherwise follows stereotypically feminine performative behaviors, he is still male. A woman is a woman if she’s straight or lesbian, wears pink dresses or works in a garage with tatted sleeves.
The transgender movement is like Conversion Therapy on steroids. People are trying to get rid of the gay by surgically altering gay men to appear more like women. Worse, sexual predators can utilize the free access to women’s spaces based on spoken gender identity.
The transgender movement oppressed women, pressuring them to shut up and keep sweet, and not complain if they feel unsafe or uncomfortable by naked intact males in their locker rooms and public showers, or if they state the obvious unfairness of males competing in women’s sports.
Most people understand that women sports were created to give women an opportunity to play sports, because they can’t compete with men. Yet, there is a large segment of the population loudly insisting that it’s fair for boys to compete against girls, as long as they say they are women, and to continue to do so as adults, as long as they take anti-androgens There are those who think a 6’2″ construction worker would be a fair match for a 5’2″ woman, as long as he took testosterone blockers, because the only difference they will admit to are hormonal.
How long will it be before this era is recognized as enabling mass child abuse of Munchausen syndrome by proxies?
Clarksbackup – wholly agree
How long will it be until people recognize we’re in hell perpetrated by minorities and ill religions and hateful ignorance?
I wonder how the framers of 14A would have reacted if they were told that in the future three SCOTUS justices would say their amendment prohibits states from outlawing the sexual mutilation of children.
See you at the big beautiful Pride Parade, Proud MAGA.
*big wheels keep on turning .. .
It’s not the land of the forefathers. It’s a land of many gods and no God. For instance , widows in Christianity are cared for and receive help while in Hinduism widows are stripped of dignity as a form of bad luck.
On mass there’s more and more of little women taking charge of the households as a wife for dad in chores and admonitions. It’s a warm up exercise as Islam has no female marriage age and it’s a certainty it will come before the court as religion.
There isn’t a single moral standard and it’s quite possible the age of consent will be lowered to perhaps 12. Then transgenders can make the decision to transition at age 12. Work laws are already being dropped for children to work in summer months in factories and fields.
OMFK the land is flawed.
It’s an identifier, DNA, is an identifier. It’s very specific and similar to fingerprints. Easily, birth certs can replace male female with XX or XY or the entire gene map. The government needs an identifier for law enforcement or deceased identification and doesn’t need your gender category.
In reality it’s hunting jews and blacks.
For these purposes of trans case it’s prevention of irreparable injury to children by age of consent. IMHO.

Some people are neither XX nor XY. Some are combinations of both.
In the 1890s, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 48 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 48 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity. A reasonable conclusion.
Fast forward 50 years… and it was found that some men had 47 chromosomes, including 2 X’s and a Y, while some women had 45, including only one X. Still no problem with the “Y chromosome defines masculinity” idea. By 1956, most people were found to have 46 not 48 chromosomes.
Then… it was found that fully 1 in 300 men weren’t 46,XY. Some women were.
Oops.
After DNA was discovered in the 50s, it was found that the SrY gene, usually found on the Y chromosome, sometimes was missing. And sometimes had been translocated to another chromosome, hence 46,XX men and 46,XY women. So SrY defined masculinity. Whew!
Then.. it was found out that some men didn’t have an SrY chromosome, not anywhere. Some women did. Other genes were involved sometimes.
Oops again.
Worse, other factors, such as Androgen Insensitivity made 46,XY people female, and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia masculinised 46,XX people.
Then in the 70s, other syndromes, such as 5alpha-reductase-2 deficiency were identified, which caused babies to look like one sex at birth, then the other at puberty.Even worse, in some places 1 in 50 infants had this natural sex change, it was not rare there.
Science 1974 Dec 27; 186 (4170): 1213-5
“ In an isolated village of the southwestern Dominican Republic, 2% of the live births were in the 1970’s, guevedoces….These children appeared to be girls at birth, but at puberty these ‘girls’ sprout muscles, testes, and a penis. For the rest of their lives they are men in nearly all respects.”
In the 90s, it was found that hormonal hiccups in the womb caused some parts of the body to develop as one sex, others as the other, regardless of genetics.
Male–to–female transsexuals have female neuron numbers in a limbic nucleus. Kruiver et al J Clin Endocrinol Metab (2000) 85:2034–2041
“The present findings of somatostatin neuronal sex differences in the BSTc and its sex reversal in the transsexual brain clearly support the paradigm that in transsexuals sexual differentiation of the brain and genitals may go into opposite directions”
It’s a matter of timing during foetal development.
Sometimes a boy is born looking like a girl, sometimes a girl is born looking like a boy, regardless of chromosomes.
This is complex stuff. We don’t teach the Theory of General Relativity in grade school, Newtonian physics, or at most Special Relativity (far simpler than General) is enough. Similary, “XX is female, XY is male” is good enough unless you do medicine or biology in college.
It’s only really relevant when talking about Trans or Intersex people, just as Relativistic effects only become relevant in the domain of the very big, very small, or very very fast, close to 186,000 miles a second.
People do *not* need psychiatric help when they think that things get heavier, more massive, as they go faster… while lengths contract. People do *not* need help when they think their sex is something different from their genetics.
Intersex people exist. Trans people exist. They are unusual, so trying to apply the usual approximations is as silly as trying to apply Newtonian physics to things moving close to or at light speed. Legislating such things is as insane as legally ruling that Pi=3… as has been done in the past.
ATS, you are schooled in these things, but none of what you say instructs us to mutilate children. The essential point is that all people are distinct in many things, so we need understanding. Mutilating children is not understanding.
Let’s tweak it a bit…
$1500 bucks for the new prototypes,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6Di0GZNzXs
Very soon the AI droids will be all but indistinguishable from actual humans. Perhaps with interchangeable sex organs and persona’s which could easily be built and programmed for trans-companionship, homo-companionship, or straight-companionship, to include all the benefits that go with it. A potential owner would be able to order a custom droid for any conceivable reason. Marry you, rob a bank for you, kill the neighbors barking dog for you, or drive the kiddies to school. Where they may well be taught by a Teachers Union provided, Mentor Model. Let’s say the “Randy Garten X1”.
Soon the reality will be that their physical forms ability to replicate human physical abilities will also include their actions, thoughts, feelings, emotions, and ability to please you, ability to out think you, or perhaps just kill you. The latter being more likely to be in the programming of the military versions, but if they can have feelings, and emotions, then aspirations and agenda’s come next, followed by rights. The I-Robot movie plot turned into a potential reality.
There are already well known clashes between those who believe it should be a criminal act of murder to kill a cow and eat it. Anyone believe that those who currently use their imagination as a means of determining what is fact and what is fancy, would not organize legal battles over the rights of droids to organize, launch lawsuits, and otherwise hold all the rights that humans currently enjoy? To be forced eventually upon the SCOTUS to decide? Bearing in mind at least one, perhaps two, of the current legal scholars sitting on the SCOTUS bench do not, as per their own admission, possess the ability to articulate exactly what a “female” is?
Detaining and searching one of these may turn out to be quite a challenge. The early prototypes are still a bit like Robbie the Robot, but they look far better and can function far more efficiently than a blow up doll. Give them a couple few more years and the current cultural clashes and court battles over racial, civil, sexual, and National origin birth rights, (let’s toss in migration also, since presumably one might sneak across the border with someone, if not on their own). So if M3GAN is built in China, then sold to a U.S buyer., is it a Chinese citizen, or American citizen or dual citizenship? What citizenship is it? Who is responsible for it’s actions? Which may come into play after one tears off and kills someone (on purpose or accidentally or even cavorting bed with a smile on the victims face), so who then gets the Wrongful Death lawsuit?
When they possess, as they surely will, feelings, emotions, desires, and legal rights, then all these questions will be the new legal battleground.

The droids have no free will and are programmed using logic. If a situation presents illogic a Droid becomes confused and dysfunctional. Humans have free will and don’t become dysfunctional when illogic happens.
Lucky for Army private Manning who got a sex change and like magic, turned into Chelsea Manning.
The court-martial conviction for leaking classified information in violation of the espionage act is another matter. Obama commuted his/her sentence.
Over in Iran, trannys are put to death…Period.
Put to death huh? Sounds like you approve that “policy”.
That “policy” includes other countries like Afghanistan & Saudi Arabia besides Iran.
I did not print approve or disapprove, “sounds like crap” . How about your approval or disapproval position?
*. People with damaged sex chromosomes or body dysphoria have disorders. Appropriate treatment when possible leading to good health of the body is good. Injuring the body is prevented if it leads to ill health.
Personally I remain amazed that gay practices continue as AIDS is a behavioral disease that has potential of killing 80 percent of human life on earth to knock it back. It is forever hoped that gay people will morally care about all human life. IMHO
So far it has merely increased which may or can lead to other personality disorder diagnoses.
This is age of consent. Nothing to be upset about as an abundance of precaution.
Er.. Iran is the only country which compels gays to get gender reassignment. Being trans is not illegal there. Being gay on the other hand is a capital offence.
Just hafta wait a few years to see if you really, really want this.
Good decision.
David, True. If one is too young to drink alcohol or get a tattoo how can he be mature enough to give informed consent to life- altering, transgender medical procedures?
Lately celebrities have been displaying transgender children with improbable frequency for what must be a very rare condition. How much informed consent might those children have in such a relationship?
I would add that besides the children being to young to consent, as with smoking, tattoos etc, it is also true that a parent, i.e. a demented and mentally ill mother, cannot consent for the child. In other words a parent can’t say, “it’s ok, I gave Johnny permission to smoke and skip school”.
So the child can’t consent to being mutilated and the parents also can’t consent to the child being mutilated. The Court was right, the law is right and the left has managed to dig out another 80/20 issue to argue for the 20.
hullbobby, Yes.
Hullbobby – both parents, of a child seeking gender transition, should be critically evaluated by an uninvolved psychiatrist. The major influence of a child’s life are the parents, for good or bad.
Geb, In the cases of celebrities displaying transgender children like a new pair of Jimmy Choo shoes I would look for Munchausen’s by Proxy child abuse.
Being transgender doesn’t nullify a basic understanding of ethical standards. Perhaps the most disappointing aspect is the revelation that transgenders are the ultimate narcissist.
Do they sit in front of mirrors all day jiggling their new t#ts? Yes.
It’s nymphomania coupled with BP. lgbt is the most promiscuous group. It’s a hobby.
Personally I don’t want any of it. I don’t want to know about it. Why don’t you people have any restraint? You’re continually vomiting your personal lives all over people. You put your B#tts and b##bs CONSTANTLY everywhere.
This must be some torture programming by some Roman catholics. Don’t forget the HORRIBLE words, the child of your sin is dead?
You’ll be spit out or vomited out in the end as asexual, aromantic screaming, stark raving mad if anyone touches you. You sick SOBs.
It’s some conversion therapy and the only way anyone will conceive in future is in vitro with a paid surrogate. You’ll learn to hate.
That’s all PT.
Dear Prof Turley,
Whew .. . that’s a load off.
*all quite on the western front!
EU has already backed away from this non-sense.
“. . . the Supreme Court issued its 6-3 ruling upholding a Tennessee ban . . .” (JT)
The degree of the culture’s degradation can be measured by the fact that it takes a SC ruling to uphold a law that criminalizes horrific child abuse.
So true Sam.
Once you are an adult. Be my guess, cut away.
Just beware.
“Once you are an adult…”
I agree. I would add a caveat: if you do something like that as a adult and later regret your choice, do NOT expect the taxpayer to foot the bill to correct your mistake…
The court dedicates to further ignorance of scientific reality in favor of moral code driven by selective religion…
I.E. they’re doing what they’ve been recruited and hired to do.
Party on.
“…transgender medical treatments for adolescents.” Any boy who wants to cut off his penis, or girl who wants to chop off her breasts, suffers from mental illness. Why is this not perfectly obvious to rational people?
They weren’t “born in the wrong body” (probably the dumbest rhetoric concerning this issue), they MAY have been born with a defective brain. The treatment they need is psychiatric.

I am a trans-multibillionaire. I require the US Treasury to deposit appropriate funds into my bank accounts and stop discriminating against me and make my imaginary billions of dollars a reality.
I am a trans top ten pool player and I demand that the proper governing bodies list me as such.
Oh, I also identify as a member of the Supreme Court Bar and I am demanding to be arguing cases next session.
Former officer here. What is implied but not clearly stated are the obvious safety concerns. When you arrest a trans suspect they often present as female. During transport it is important for officer safety to know who is a biological male. During booking and jail classification it is essential that they be properly segregated for their own protection. I would assume related safety aspects are in play with passports. (Body searches at passport control come to mind.)
Any serious student of history and/or anthropology will know that no civilization will long endure without an established, agreed upon, certain moral core of values. If not, there will, eventually, be strife and then rebellion/revolution.
We are at the point where we are, i n fat, 2 distinct and separate cultures, attempting to inhabit the same piece of real estate and twist the laws of the nation like a pretzel attempting to conform the laws and cultural core to fit both factions at one time.
The result is what we have, deadlock. One side of this fight must win and subsume the other or we will certainly go the way of Britain, Europe in general, The ancient empire of Alexander, the Persian empire, the Roman empire— the list could go on; but the essence is that we are no longer one people united under one constitution and one flag and we are headed for either continued impotence in governance or revolution.
“One side of this fight must win…” Agreed. I’m betting in the not so distant future it’ll be the side with the guns, not the side with rogue Karens in robes.
*. Whimsical, your comments are hot today. Yes, it’s a matter of moral v. Immoral and what has not been seen by some is the active implementation of immoral and willfully with full knowledge and free will.
The government is interested in verifiable, immutable identification. Fingerprints are immutable and identifiers. At birth DNA samples are now available and birth certs can have sex chromosomes identifiers as XX, or XY and and any anomalies such as XYY OR XXY etc leaving male female out completely but we are loathe to give anyone access to such information because it can be used for ill as Hitler would find it most helpful as would the agreed Wizard.
Law enforcement uses DNA now and samples are taken if charged with a crime as an identifier. The other stuff is flawed.
The ruling allowed Tennessee to set an age as it does in many other instances commonly known as coming of age DL, voting, conscription, marriage, alcohol and tobacco use and does not preclude necessary surgeries for physical abnormalities for the healthful functioning of the human body.
When the person born in the wrong body comes of age I presume any action regarding surgeries and cross use drugs, hormones , other is a free will choice.
It’s an age issue and State opinion to prevent child abuse and irreversible physical injury of a minor. Female hormones are derived from soy or synthetics and testosterone is derived from only the very best steeds.
It’s a serious issue and the people may move to DNA markers on birth certs.? The matter of gender, AGE and available medical care will still be an issue. Identifiers remain sex: XX, XY. Hormones and cross use won’t be taken away from adults. Birth certs sex: XX or XY …

Gender (e.g. sex-correlated attributes): masculine and feminine. Trans- refers to a state or process of divergence. The transgender spectrum includes homosexuals, and the purer form of bisexuals, as well as simulated through medical and surgical corruption. The cultural deviants are transsocial. Then there are the liberals in progressive sects who adopt the Pro-Choice religion are transhumane. Where do Diversitists (i.e. class-disordered ideologues) fit? #HateLovesAbortion
Since when?
“Viewed as a whole, the language of the Executive Order is candid in its rejection of the identity of an entire group—transgender Americans—who have always existed and have long been recognized in, among other fields, law and the medical profession.”
(who have always existed and have long been recognized in, among other fields, law and the medical profession.”) And we all know that these recognitions are base on opinion only and have no real importance for purposes of national security.
“”have long been recognized in, among other fields, law and the medical profession…”
In his concurring opinion, Clarence Thomas had some choice words about the deification of professional opinion:
In Landmark Skrmetti Case, Justice Thomas Demolishes The ‘Expert Class’
https://thefederalist.com/2025/06/18/in-landmark-skrmetti-case-justice-thomas-demolishes-the-expert-class/
“First, so-called experts have no license to countermand the ‘wisdom, fairness, or logic of legislative choices.’ … Second, contrary to the representations of the United States and the private plaintiffs, there is no medical consensus on how best to treat gender dysphoria in children,” Thomas wrote. “Third, notwithstanding the alleged experts’ view that young children can provide informed consent to irreversible sex-transition treatments, whether such consent is possible is a question of medical ethics that States must decide for themselves. Fourth, there are particularly good reasons to question the expert class here, as recent revelations suggest that leading voices in this area have relied on questionable evidence, and have allowed ideology to influence their medical guidance.”
all you need do is research the history of covid and our “experts” dealing with that to see that Science is not the be all and end all of facts or logic.
The purpose of a passport, first and foremost, is to identify a person for international travel. In addition to an identifier/label (name and passport number) it includes normally immutable characteristics, to wit: place and date of birth, sex, and now possibly biometric data. Biological sex can normally be verified by physical exam, or x/t ray.
It serves no purpose to describe a persons opinions, desires or interests as they cannot be used to verify identity. Thus neither gender identity nor favorite color would serve any useful purpose on such an identification document.
If one needs to assert their gender identity, just print up a card on your own that says “I’m proud to be “. As your gender identity is defined solely within your mind, there’s no way for anyone else to dispute or confirm your opinion. Your sanity is perhaps a different matter.

when do we start punishing lawless judges?

Dont be ridiculous. Trump was the 7th vote.
But if he was, I am sure his signature on the decision wasn’t signed with an autopen.
So Amy refused to recognize this mental illness as a protected class!? It’s a win all day long for sanity.
The transgender issue might not be an issue but for the US FDA approving soy as a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) food additive in the late 1960s: https://www.wnd.com/2006/12/39253/
Soy was offered to me as a replacement therapy while I was passing through menopause. It is a somewhat fair replacement for estrogen. Has any court ruled on this “therapy” what was easily available over the counter?
whimisicalmama, despite my personal efforts to do something positive for more than a decade, no profession I know of is informed of or competent yet when it comes to gender and/or sanity changes induced by FDA approved food poisoning.
Even the patches are phytoestrogens or synthetic I think. Much better than pregnant horse urine huh?
