🚨FACT CHECK🧵
Advocates of "gender-affirming care" made at least 6 false and dubious claims in the Supreme Court oral arguments for U.S. v. Skrmetti today.
Transgender medical interventions are so grotesque, advocates use euphemistic terms like "gender-affirming care" to hide their true nature. The arguments today illustrated once again that gender ideology considers natural puberty to be unhealthy for some minors and prefers the artificial facsimile of puberty created by Big Pharma products...💉

1⃣US SG Elizabeth Prelogar claimed that "puberty blockers" entail "just pressing pause" on natural growth.
In reality, these cancer drugs—not approved by the FDA for gender dysphoria—have serious side effects & hormone doctors disagree with Prelogar. 2/9

2⃣ACLU's Chase Strangio claimed it's “clearly established in the science” that "gender-affirming care" reduces "depression, anxiety, & su*cidality." Yet a pro-trans FDA official admitted a study showed "puberty blockers" increased su*cidal thoughts. 3/9

3⃣Puberty as Harm:
“If you’re thinking about this from the standpoint of, ‘There’s no harm in just making them wait until they’re adults,’ I think you have to recognize that the effect of denying this care is to produce irreversible physical effects that are consistent with their birth sex, because they have to go through puberty before they turn 18,” Prelogar argued.
Prelogar’s argument flips the natural course of biology on its head. She and others are suggesting that the natural process of puberty is somehow harmful and that it is better for males who say they identify as female to undergo a chemically induced artificial facsimile of the natural process than it is for them to develop naturally. 4/9

4⃣THE SAME CONDITION?
Sotomayor said doctors would give "puberty blockers" to a boy w/precocious puberty but not a girl who ID'd as trans: "The medical condition is the same."
TN AG Matt Rice set her straight. 5/9

5⃣GENDER CONFORMITY?
Elena Kagan said the TN law aims to enforce gender conformity b/c it opposes procedures that "might encourage minors to become disdainful of their sex."
This isn't about gender conformity, but accepting biological reality. 6/9

6⃣INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE
Ketanji Brown Jackson claimed at least three times that a law protecting kids from transgender medical experiments was somehow similar to a ban on interracial marriage. Yes, seriously. Here's the first time. 7/9

Here's the second time. ACLU attorney Chase Strangio agreed with Jackson👀 8/9
TN AG Matt Rice debunked her claim, saying it relies on equating "fundamentally different medical treatments."
"Giving testosterone to a boy w/a deficiency is not the same treatment as giving it to a girl who has psychological distress w/ her body." 9/9
