The Supreme Court is on the verge of upholding Tennessee’s ban on child sex changes, or, as they are euphemistically called, “gender-affirming care,” with both the justices for and against clearly laying out how delusional transgender activist talking points are. Justice Samuel Alito made it clear that if gender is “fluid” and can change on a whim, it is not an immutable characteristic like skin color and, therefore, not subject to the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause.
Wanting to strike down the ban, Justice Sonia Sotomayor claimed pumping children full of cross-sex hormones and permanently physically altering their bodies with sex change surgeries is risky in the same way taking aspirin is risky.

The Supreme Court is set to restore some level of legal sanity over the wailing of the radical ideologues at the American Civil Liberties Union, but cultural sanity is also returning, specifically to the sports world. The backlash to two boxers disqualified from the women’s International Boxing Association championships in 2023 over genetic testing being allowed to fight women in the Olympics was swift, for example.

Similarly, the Ladies Professional Golf Association finally put its foot down to ban men who underwent male puberty from competing against women, joined by the U.S. Golf Association. The LPGA had previously been allowing Hailey Davidson, a man, to hang around in qualifying events and its feeder tour. Now, the association has stopped listening to zealots such as the ACLU and started listening to basic biological science.

What is changing is the willingness of people to speak out and oppose the authoritarianism of transgender activists who demand that society be entirely reshaped to fit their anti-science delusions. The country is finally moving in the right direction on this issue, as more and more people stand for truth and stand against the activist bullies trying to intimidate them into silence.
