    Transgender arguments...

    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      That will be interesting to see how they weigh the issue. We don't consider adolescents old enough to vote, smoke legal weed or drink. Why should we be compelled to allow them to make such a life mutilating changing decision?"

        None of those are permanent life-altering choices.

        Tattoos are, and they're prohibited as well.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          I don't think the transgender lobby is going to like the ruling...

              Why do Trans Men always portray a weir caricature of men? They almost always have facial hair, tattoos (though it seems like everybody does), constantly post pictures with their shirts off, and are obnoxiously aggressive and sometimes even violent.

              It’s like they are cosplaying some ridiculous stereotype.

                        This issue is a Dem-killer, and they are welcome to it.

                            We hear so much about how Trumpism is a "cult", but when this supreme court justice, during her confirmation hearings, says she doesn't have the proper academic training to say what a woman is, we just accept it with an eyeroll. No matter how lunatic something is, if it's mainstream, it gets a pass.

                                Plenty of people compare gender ideology to a cult. Including many of us here.

                                Only non-witches get due process.

                                    Oh, I doubt that she’s a true believer. Hell, I don’t think the majority of the Democrat leadership is. I just think that they were hoisted on their own petard after decades and decades of identity politics. The LGBTQ+ gained an outsized influence in Democratic politics. By the time they realized, they were too tied in to the movement politically, and they knew it.

                                    I have no doubt that Dem leadership is looking forward to the Supreme Court’s decision. It could provide them with a temporary exit ramp from the issue on a national basis.
