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.

🧵
Secret school transitions got the green light from the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals (Boston) this week.

They sat on this hot potato for 17 months after argument and now issue it per curiam (not ID'ing the author among 3 judges).

1 of the original judges, Lipez, recused.
2.
 Foote v. Ludlow concerns Baird Middle School in western Mass.

Court says pronouns, like sex, are given to babies at birth.

The court uses "gender-neutral 'they/them'" for the girl, who was 11 at the time of secret transition. Image
3.
 The folksy writing style sounds like Judge Rogeriee Thompson, who has written spirited trans decisions before.

🧵
Washington AG filed about 100 declarations in its lawsuit challenging Trump's gender med EO.

Doctors, parents, and trans-ID kids speak in their own voices.

Feels like an oral history of a community in crisis. But what caused the crisis?

 This mother is talking about her 8-year old son whose therapist has been helping him pretend to "have babies." Image

 This mother is talking about her 14yo "nonbinary" child (sex not identified) who is forgoing puberty because developing an adult body would "not be ok."

To age or not to age? The question might drive you crazy. Image

Tomorrow Dem AGs will argue in a Seattle federal court that Trump's "Protecting Children from Mutilation" EO should be blocked.

Their brief is a scathing expose of gender medicine that thinks it is a scathing expose of Donald Trump.
🧵
2.
 The Dem AGs start with a sensational threat.

There is no evidence for the claim "transgender children will die" because they can't disrupt their endocrine systems. The only study on point showed gender med doesn't prevent suicide. Image
3.
 Incredible claim. Normally a boss would bounce this draft back to the line attorney:

"Do you mean to say doctors don't KNOW of any patients who regret?"
"How do we know it's MOST doctors?"

This brief was not drafted under normal conditions. Image

🧵🚨
Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, and 3 anon doctors have sued Trump for restricting child gender medicine.

In the past, blue state AGs have taken a back seat to ACLU, etc., in gender med lawsuits. Now these government lawyers are stepping into the limelight.
2/
 The complaint starts with a lie. Gender med doesn't "often" prevent or reduce suicide.

The research shows zero effect on suicide rates, as ACLU conceded before the Supreme Court.Image
3/
 Like AGs in NY and Cali this week, these AGs argue it's discrimination for doctors to refuse hormones on demand to children. Image

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.
