The gist of the December 4, 2024 SCOTUS hearing on Skrmetti, from the six “conservative” justices on transgender youth and gender-affirming care:
We don’t understand what transgender people are, or what the word “transgender” means.
Nor do we think we should try to understand.
Because we do not understand “transgender,” we also do not understand what “gender-affirming care” is.
Our preexisting opinion, before the Skrmetti case landed on our bench: We do not think transgender people or gender-affirming care should exist.
So we must make both illegal, first by making rulings that apply only to states, then by making gender affirming care and transgender people illegal everywhere.
We will use the same hammer on transexuals and gender-affirming care that we have been using on abortion since we handed down the Dobbs decision:
We don’t think abortion should ever happen, so we took away away a woman’s federal right to safe and legal abortion.
We will first let states set their own rules, and then when that doesn’t work, and it won’t work, because everyone in a state doesn’t have the same opinion on abortion, we will impose a national ban on all abortions to settle the disagreements among parties in individual states.
Then we will apply the same hammer used on transgender, gender-affirming care, and abortion to homosexuals and gay marriage.
We understand that transgender people, homosexual people and abortion have zero impact on those of us who are not transgender, homosexual or who do not want or need abortions.
But we want to force the rest of America to live according to our beliefs. (This is also one of the key elements of fascism, which we are working to bring to American government.)
We know what we are doing.
It’s simple:
We don’t want transgender or homosexual people to legally exist, or to be able to legally marry, nor do we want abortions to happen legally.
So we will leave it up to the states for a while and when that situation becomes untenable, we will rule on nationwide laws making them all illegal.
