The law almost always manages to lag medical science by a couple of generations.

Thomas’ dissent criticized “self-described experts.” Does he mean all of the doctors who treat transgender patients based on medical evidence? Or does he mean the transgender people who have lived experience? The latest survey shows that the vast majority of transgender people are much happier when they receive hormone treatment and gender-affirming surgery. The few who detransition often cite difficulty in dealing with their family and society’s anti-trans bias.

Minors minors minors - detrans girls & womyn testify to peer, family, & medical establishment pressure to emphasize the ridiculous concept shoved down our throats we were born in the wrong body. Aa fuckin if. Just a socially & medically means to condone eliminating homosexuals.

Karen, I think you nailed it. Did you know that until about two decades ago the Department of Defense used to pay for non-military related cosmetic surgery for military spouses? Someone finally woke up and said why should military spouses get facelifts and nose jobs free when everyone else has to pay for them?
