The 11th Circuit ruling quoted those passages and asserted that “the use of these medications in general — let alone for children — almost certainly is not ‘deeply rooted’ in our nation’s history and tradition. Although there are records of transgender or otherwise gender nonconforming individuals from various points in history, the earliest recorded uses of puberty blocking medication and cross-sex hormone treatment for purposes of treating the discordance between an individual’s biological sex and sense of gender identity did not occur until well into the twentieth century.” The ruling also said that the Alabama law does not amount to discrimination based on sex or transgender status and is therefore subject only to the lowest level of constitutional review.
That Dobbs ruling is just going to infect everything conservative judges touch, isn't it?
- yup. anything dems pass wont be "deeply rooted in our nation's history and traditions."as if christian nationalism is.
- Listen, gay rigths just aren't deeply rooted into our culture, so no one in LGBT+ has any rights whatsover now.
  Also, labor laws really weren't a thing before the 20th century, so effectively immediately you are all property of your corporate overlords.
  Also, slavery is deeply rooted into our cultural history, so effective immediatly all black people should report to their closest slave distribution center for allocation to a member of the superior race.
  P.S. Clarence Thomas is legally considered to be a white man. We will not be responding to inquiries regarding this ruling.
- The pathetic thing is that abortion is absolutely rooted in our nation's history. Ben Franklin wrote recipes for abortifacients.
  
  Yeah but that's not far enough back. What about the Salem witch trials?
- So with that logic they can ban antibiotics too?
I love it when the government gets involved in the personal matters of individuals /s
The party of human liberty, obsessed with what you do with your genitals
- Because it makes them feel funny in theirs.
