The Supreme Court has sided with cruelty. Again. This time, it’s trans kids who pay the price. In this powerful piece, lawyer and democracy expert @importantmeagan.bsky.social pulls back the curtain on the new ruling upholding the TN ban on gender-affirming care, and sounds the alarm on what's next.
Thank you for doing this, and also for including ALT text. 😊
The SCOTUS 6 are dangerous Christian Nationals that hate other Americans. They are unfit to serve on the highest court FOR THE PEOPLE.
TRUTH. they are NOT for the people. They are for those who pay them money.
Every single "scotus" member committed perjury to attain their lofty positions. Power hungry to destroy America as we know it. We will not find peace or justice with them in power. Everything the "gop" is doing, they're doing with the scotus' blessing. #endthegop #dismantlescotus
They also commit perjury in their concurrences, but we have no recourse for it.
What happened to the conservative cry “Government out of our lives!” Now we are in a police state.
They'd rather kids die than to allow them to simply live their own authentic lives without other people telling them how to do that. Pro-life? It's perverse Christian fundamentalism -- a bigger threat to America than Islamic fundamentalism ever has been.
They will have blood on their hands. They have no idea the hurdles doctors have to go through to prescribe meds. This isn't happening willy nilly.
*Term limits for SCOTUS! *Ethics Training and Standards must be mandatory! *If you lie during your nomination hearing you are removed and disbarred!
It’s the POWs, Places Of Worship, behind all this bullshit. Because someone wrote their flawed opinion in books thousands of years ago, based on nothing, many people will suffer.
Every day things get worse and worse in the USA. Every day when I wake up and turn on the news there is something else. It is hard to keep hope.
:(
SCOTUS: if you don’t want it, if you don’t understand it, you still shouldn’t hate it. And you definitely shouldn’t kill. People will die because of you.
Perfect times. Who cares when we looking at WW. Scum.
JD Vance, Mike Johnson, House&Senate republicans, Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Roberts, Gorsuch, are aiding and abetting accomplices to trump’s lawlessness and should all be removed from office. Fox propaganda should face charges and fines for all their lies/defamation.
Sickening
It means The Supreme Court is NO GOOD. OWNED BY BILLIONAIRES AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. THEY NO LONGER CARE ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION. IT IS DISGRACEFUL AND INFURIATING
An absolute heartbreak 💔😢
The Supreme Court is helping Trump to slowly erode Democracy. All of them.
Gop kill and steal kids Separate borders and dem tax money from maga baby killers.
We saw this coming. They were psychologically profiled by psychologists. They came through for the likes of Charles Koch, a benefactor of Justice Thomas.
That is 100% f*cked up!!!
Soon, instead of "Protect Trans Youth" the signs will soon just read "Protect Trans". Then just "Protect". Soon, there will be no more signs. Reaching the end of that short poem about "They came for…" it may be time to write a new poem. …while we still can. 😓
Scotus is out of their minds. Seems they want to hurt people over and over again.
She dropped the gold cross on the neck chain? Maybe it was leaving burn marks when she lied so much?
I don't know her name but the comedian who does the tik tok parity videos (with the daily cross) is living rent free in her head.
I found the comedian with today's cross. Steak/lobster for the troops. When troops eat well, you get shipped off to battle
Why is the right wing attacking a group that represents fewer than 1% of our population? Because they can. What group will be next?
Nazi playbook. Distract from what is really going on by having a scapegoat.
A scapegoat that can’t fight back.
Trans kids for now. Everyone else soon.
what's next might be brown shirts, internment, and more trump ... 🤨
I thought about something just this morning. Maybe Trump has unconsciously given America a gift. He completely ignores any SCOTUS rulings; maybe we all should do the same. Someone ask John Roberts, "How does it feel to know you are completely superfluous, thanks to the precedent Trump has set?"
This only works if you have the violence of the state on your side to enforce your flouting of the judiciary. Right now, the violence of the state is being used to harm transgender people.
This is simply beyond heartbreaking.
How about no more boob jobs for Maga women, they live with the parts they’re born with, and for God’s sake, quick pumping all that shit in your lips.
Hair extensions and makeup, too! Outlaw anything people aren’t born with. The Amish way without the Rumspringa!
And noses, cheeks, chin, brows, etc… Their work is extensive
If a supreme court throws innocent people, under the bus, why not throw the Supreme Court under the bus? Eye for an eye….
We know SCOTUS and republicans are working hard to erase trans people. Why TF are there so many psycho bots pretending to be trans, absolutely trashing Kamala Harris. Who would been infinitely better than the fascists we’re dealing with now?
The Supreme Court Republicans of the United States, or SCROTUS.
The resistance stands with the medical and behavioral health community on gender affirming care.
#Democrats we must admit this fact to ourselves &why would we want to help Republicans again? We don't have that interest at this time! If GOP 38 yr olds &Under are not even seeing Democrats as full people. GOP are lumping us in w/ Tr🍊mp the Gullible, bc Trump gettin' RAN by likes of Elon&Thiel&mo!
Let's get the Supreme Court back to caring for all people nobody is special that will help us all
Really sad. When I was a teen, I didn't think I'd ever get grown up. It just seemed SO far away. Some of these children will lose hope, long before they get old enough to do this themselves. We're going to lose a LOT of good kids.
No one ever says the thing about, What if one of those kids could grow up to cure cancer, like they do about abortion.
We need iron chastity belts to protect our crotches from Republican perverts.
Substack platforms Nazis
The John Roberts led SCOTUS has been behind every decision that jeopardizes Democracy and Human/Equal Rights. His legacy should be one of scorn.
Unpopular opinion, i don’t agree with transgender care under 18. More important opinion what your kid needs is none of my damn business. Why is it anyone else’s? This is for kids,parents and doctors to decide not anyone else.
Doesn’t matter if you AGREE with it or not. What matters is the accessibility of care so that the kids can make that decision for themselves, with parental consent. It’s basically pro-choice for trans issues. And SCOTUS has removed the freedom of choice, yet again.
they are religious, of course they are cruel
Kids who are Americans.
The Supreme Court is the most corrupted branch of the government., cbwrong.blogspot.com/2025/06/poli...
bsky.app/profile/opin...
Yep you can always count on them to give a devastating blow
Religious fanatics shouldn't be dictating our medical care.The republican party is a religious cult. They are not doctors.
Eradicate conservatism at the source without mercy.
So, just throw out the Preamble for trans people? We all share the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Can't wait for their take on why they think the Bible says ear infections can't be treated.
Terrible.
Supreme Corruption
Horrific! Children from Families without the means to move to another state will suffer the most!
The Supreme Court has been bought and paid for by the MAGA party
Term limits for Supreme Judges
Human rights don't exist in the US, "land of the free", if you're rich, "home of the brave", who hide behind status...
Why have a tainted Right Wing Supreme Court if they keep taking away our RIGHTS and FREEDOM. Impeach Roberts!
Can kids get tattoos with parent permission?
This country is disintegrating before our very eyes! Trump must go!
I remember the days when republicans said the nation laws under Democrats were "nanny state" laws. This court ruling is clearly "nanny state".
His cruelty is just way over the top. We need to topple him; unify and make him go away.
They used trans to get our focus and they still are. Help will only come by focusing on the big pictures here
Fuck scotus
It means children will die. Probably adults too.
This system is broken. Anyone who looks at the research or listens to doctors, scientists, or families would see this is the wrong decision. Judges may follow the law, not govern—but if this is their idea of justice, it shows a cruel disregard for anyone they see as different.
Tbh they're asking to be punched in the face. Every trans kid who doesn't get the correct puberty as a child will grow up incredibly angry over the fact OTHER people got to decide how to shape their body for them. That anger doesn't easily go away. Especially when you know who's responsible.
Yep. This won't be a case, as it was for me, that 'well, we didn't know we could treat this.' This will be a case of 'we CHOSE to withhold this treatment from you, because we're arrogant and think we know better.'
Yep.
Of course they did. Look what they have repeatedly done to women! Only white cis-gen men have any say about their bodies.
But having s pedophile in charge of the entire government is fine.
Felons and regimes take advantage of inactive people unfortunately. 💔
The Roberts court will go down as the worst SCOTUS in American history. This is just one more in a long line of absolutely insane rulings.
Devastating news for these kids. All I can say is that we all need to speak up and put on political pressure to turn this around. And get out and VOTE because it matters so much! In my own experience Trans kids have treated this grandma with kindness and respect. If people only knew them!
its 2025 AD how the hell do we still discriminate people just for existing?
You speak of the tainted and biased Robert’s SCOTUS that is Catholic to the core?
Cruelty is the point.
🤬
I’m good with only 2 genders for all kids under 18 years old. Once they are considered adults they can change whatever they want. Can’t believe the amount of attention spent on less than 1% of the population. Democrats, stop making this a talking point. It is a no win topic.
Where is your compassion for those different from yourself? This decision impacts people’s lives deeply. Just because they are only few in number and you don’t understand, shouldn’t mean these people don’t matter. How would a different decision hurt YOU? Yet, this decision will cost lives.
PS You are assuming they will get to be over 18. Put yourself in their shoes. Life as a teenager is hard enough when you are cis-gendered and straight.
Life is not fair. I’m sure the courts looked at the big picture and not the plight of a few. I just believe in 2 genders and you are one or the other at birth. Not looking for your approval or to be educated on why I am wrong. People can overcome adversity, most of us do.
Do your homework. It’s not as black and white as you think. And, btw, this isn’t a “democrat issue,” it’s a GOP thing. My kind of democrat believe believes in social justice and and equity for all. GOP is the party doing the quibbling.
I never stated it was black and white. I stated it was too small an issue to keep relevant. It is a Democrat issue because the GOP beats the hell out of the democrats with this issue. The Dems have bigger problems that need attention. The fault is trying to appease everyone.
But what issue is too big? What issue is too small, when it’s someone you love?
Love them. Teach them how to survive and thrive until they have full control. We cannot fight and win every battle. Sometimes the best we can do is survive until the change you seek has time to be adopted by the mainstream. I wish you the best.
You might be fine with that, but nature isn't. Some kids are intersex. Some simply can't function as the sex they were assigned as birth. The real world is complicated.
Yeah, let's enforce irreversible emotional and physical trauma on people for an easily treated condition because you're incapable of handling your own emotions. That's the fucking ticket!
How has it been handled the last 2000 years?
Traumatically...for us.
I think it might be time to acknowledge that you’re big and powerful but, ultimately, you’re still kind of a shithole.
Proves these fundies don’t follow their own book, as if they’re even hiding their naziism anymore.
When conservative minds set laws the vulnerable pay the price. These have consciences so deadened they think they're right as they hand down decisions that strip away rights, promote bigotry, & are simply cruel. Conservative minds legalize criminality in high places. Selah.
Folks, the Supreme Court and the Admin don't give a flying #### about any members of the LGBT+ community or women or minorities. They just care about Trumpie and MAGA and the GOP and the hate and the harm they're causing.
Some kids know as early as 3 they are the wrong gender. This is such an act of cruelty.
I think the thing that really make me crazy is this regime is demanding we live by their standards. We are no longer free. I don't want to live according to the regimes standards.
They want a theocracy. they want to own and control you. Your body and mind will no longer be your own, but property of the state.
Stepford wives. They should just let us all leave the US freely without the massive amount of dollars needed to exit and replace us with robots then.
I don't want to see one bastard in those states partaking in that jaw enhancement trend, or getting their wives boob n butt jobs, getting hair plugs, peck implants or mens boob reductions, NO pills to fix their limp dicks, I want to see women in those with that mustache they have been hiding!
It's okay George - every single day they remind us why we fight - and I guarantee you that Americans will never stop fighting.
Pure evil. Not an ounce of empathy from the court. Keep your religion out of my medicine.
Future law school students will discuss the “Roberts Court” era the same way history students discuss the 14th century plague epidemic.
Leo's Supreme Court and I'm not talking about the Pope. We are at this point in U.S. because of Leo's Supreme Court.
What's next? Gays have to wear a pink triangle on their clothing.,trans people some other sign, so everyone can recognize them. Followed by a ruling that these persons are not allowed in buses, theatres, cafes, libraries, etc. In other words, the Nazi playbook.
Disgraceful! Why are they so ignorant?
I just want someone to explain to me why some parents can refuse blood transfusion or vaccines for their children against medical advice, but parents of trans children cannot use medically recommended treatment for their kids. Make it make sense.
Because we are living in a sick, sick time. If we survive this, I believe this will be one of many decisions by this Supreme Court that will go in the horrible-decisions-of-history column along with Dred Scott, Citizens United, and presidential immunity (among others).
It's just bigotry. We give powerful people the ick and thus they want to be rid of us; everything else is post hoc rationalization.
Agreed. Almost wish they had enough integrity to just say that.
The government owns the bodies of US children. That’s what that ruling means.
Not just children, everybody. The way this was ruled, with Dobbs behind it, the government claims authority to dictate what medical care anybody may or may not access based on condition.
I’m not being dramatic. Even if parents, the child, medical doctors and psychologists are all in agreement on how to keep a patient healthy and alive, the government can come into your home and abduct your kids based on nothing more than your representatives’ religious beliefs.
I am the parent of a Trans person. Unfortunately they never felt safe enough to come forward until mid twenties. By then, psychological damage is already done because society doesn't allow people to be themselves. Its a PRIVATE family matter not for courts or elected officials to decide...PERIOD!
Move out of Tennessee.
Of course they did...
This Supreme Court Majority seems to lack COMPASSION. I don’t understand these people. They should be ABOVE bipartisan nonsense. They have their jobs for life.
I really don’t understand people who would hate and try to destroy others who had no say in how they were born. Just sick.
The original NAZIs had the same feelings about the same things as those copycat NAZIs.
American’s are debating, that’s it 🤔
Thanks to Republicans, the entire system is corrupt from the felon in charge through the SCOTUS down to the moron governing my state of FL. It's so damn obvious it's sickening.
Arrest these traitors.
