Last night marked the single most crushing legal defeat that trans activists, corrupt “civil liberties” organizations, big law firms, and Big Pharma have suffered in years. Less than 24 hours ago, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals — which has jurisdiction over Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee — issued a point-by-point refutation of every substantive argument that proponents of transgenderism have made over the past decade. This was not a ruling on technicalities. This was a well-articulated takedown of their claims in every dimension: medical, legal, and logical. And given the makeup of the Supreme Court, we can be pretty confident that this ruling is going to cause major problems for trans activists for the indefinite future. The upshot is that the bans on child gender transitions in both Tennessee and Kentucky will stand. Both can go into effect. When our ban was passed in Tennessee, trans activists gloated that they would easily get it overturned in court. But they failed. We beat them.
In a moment I’m going to get into specific detail about this ruling, what exactly it says, and the context for it. But one of the first takeaways is this: No matter how often you’re smeared as a bigot, no matter how often you’re told to believe a lie and to “trust the experts,” you need to maintain your convictions. If you do that, eventually you will win. And the lives of millions of children will be better off because of it.
