"Absent this Court’s review, families in Tennessee and other States where laws like SB1 have taken effect will face the loss of essential medical care."
The government has no business making medical decisions. Health care should be a decision between a patient and their physician. Simple, & in the best interest of the patient.
While the DOJ might be afraid that the court would deny the second part based on rules of certiorari, cutting this part of the petition spells disaster in my mind, because the argument for parental/individual medical decision rights seems a much stronger argument than whether or not laws regarding trans people trigger heightened scrutiny. I'm VERY worried this will fail, emboldening other states to pass laws banning ALL trans medical care.
I am honestly terrified if this conservative scotus decides to toss trans rights. This is just so stressful for those of us who are trans like myself.
