Boy wore a shirt to school that said "there are only two genders." School censored him. He sued (free speech). Ended up at federal 1st Circuit.

Lawyer for school: This message that there is just two genders is vile, and it says to someone who is nonbinary, You do not exist.
/1
/2
Judge David Barron asked the school's lawyer, What if the shirt said "male is not a gender"?

School lawyer: The administrators would have to think, well, is that attacking a core identity? Probably not. Male is not a gender.
/3
Boy's lawyer argued the school was not inclusive to him when it called his views hateful. Judge Barron again:

"No one was saying HIS gender didn't exist!"
4/
 The First Circuit ruled for the censorious school. The boy is seeking Supreme Court review.

The case is LM v. Town of Middleborough.

"Male is not a gender" comes up around 35:00-:10, yes I replayed the tape on that one.

 I'm working on a post about LM and other 1st Circuit trans decisions. These New England judges are blazing a trail of inclusivity through the 1st amendment.

Trump's 2-sexes order savages "gender identity."

Here's why that matters to the future of "trans rights" litigtion.
2/
 The ACLU is the legal genius behind trans. In its lawsuits, it defines gender identity as one's sense of one's gender, with M and F as examples.

ACLU does not define gender. Judges assume it means sex, but it could mean anything. Image
3/
 ACLU makes it sound like gender identity is based in biology, like sexual orientation. It is not.

These quotes are from its complaint in US v. Skrmetti.

🚨Long Island judge upholds law that protects women's and girls' sports

The matter concerns a man named Bratzilla who wants to play roller derby against women.
🧵 Image
2/
 Last year Nassau County (Long Island, NY) passed a law requiring sports teams using public facilities to identify as mixed-sex or male if the team includes a male player.

A "women's" roller derby team, the Roller Rebels, objected because one of its players is a trans-ID man.
3/
 The man goes by Bratzilla because he is very tall and likes bratz dolls.

Roller derby is a dangerous contact sport. Its players pride themselves in being "punk." The NY women's league welcomes men who ID as women.

I wrote about this case in November.

I'm reading Trump's executive order (EO) on gender ideology.

It's brilliant, legally and rhetorically.

The intro doesn't mince words. Image
2/
 Feelings will be hurt. Image
3/
 Over and over, this order refuses to pick a favorite between women's rights and truth.

Both important, both under attack by gender ideologues. Image

Why does President Trump need to declare there are two sexes?

In 2017, the Endocrine Society claimed the term biological sex was "imprecise and and should be avoided."

Really it was just 10 doctors who said this, but they controlled a key ES committee. /1 Image
The ACLU soon began quoting this ES Guideline in its trans lawsuits to "destabilize" the judges' understanding of sex -- sex being the word that unlocks rights in law.

The idea was to let people identify their own sex by declaring a "gender identity."


/2badfacts.substack.com/p/chase-strang…
The ACLU executed this maneuver (not quite an argument) when it represented:

A) Girls who wanted to use the boys' bathroom
B) Boys who wanted to compete in girls' sports
C) Doctors who wanted to block the puberty of gender-nonconforming children

🚨Corruption

NYT published a story today about GOP state bills "targeted at the LGBTQ population."

@nytimes says GOP opposes "deference to gender nonconformity." Doesn't mention detransitioners or boys winning girls' trophies.

The piece comes with ads for the ACLU.
🧵 Image
2/
 So the ACLU pays NYT, NYT publishes a news article that adopts ACLU's framing, and readers can click from the article to the ACLU join page.

Here's the backstory.

Pitching to media buyers, NYT promises "intentional ad products."

 "Influential audience" could mean judges, attorneys general, and lawmakers.

NYT really is an influential outlet. Image

Two law professors are trying to scare doctors.

They argue in JAMA (med journal) that if the Supreme Court sides with Tennessee in US v. Skrmetti , medical practice having nothing to do with gender med "may be in peril."
🧵
2/
 The piece by Boston U Profs. Nicole Huberfeld and Michael Ulrich is titled "US v. Skrmetti -- Testing the Transition to Politicized Medicine"

It's a slippery slope argument that letting states ban gender med will lead them to ban real med. Image
3/
 The law profs assume that:
1. Gender med prevents suicide
2. Transgender people are a class (no definition provided)
3. Bans on gender med treat this class different from everyone else
4. These bans are supported by "false of no evidence" (later paragraph) Image
