Article on (mostly) treating children for 'trans' identities.

'...the Supreme Court is poised to rule on the constitutionality of Tennessee’s ban on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for treating gender-related distress in minors.
Oral arguments are set to begin on December 4 and legal experts expect the state will prevail.
The court’s decision could herald an end to pediatric gender-transition treatment in about two dozen states.'

Pain, confusion and compassion: How the US has reached a trans ‘tipping point’

Families are in crisis, and the years to come are expected to bring more turmoil for these vulnerable youths as the walls close in on pediatric gender medicine.

From 2014

Her story is a reminder that the Internet has been a revolutionary tool for the trans community, providing answers to questions that previous generations had no one to ask, as well as robust communities of support. And the digital world offers a way to test the water before jumping in. As Widmer puts it, “You can be yourself on the Internet before you can be yourself in person."

That's a more formal way of saying "peak trans". I understand that phrase is banned here. Can we use "tipping point"?

The article makes a good point, that the more detransitioners sue their healthcare provider and are successful, the higher the insurance costs will be for healthcare providers so this in itself could push the train off it's tracks.

It's detransitioners who are really making the difference here, rather than GC feminists who harp on and on about the physical harms to children, and women more generally, but get ignored or shouted down.

Detransitioners can't be ignored because they're actually able to do something.

"Stakeholders predict that, at a minimum, pediatric gender doctors will become far more cautious as this field is pummeled by lawsuits, subpoenas, and negative research reports.

These unrelenting forces could all but end pediatric gender-transition treatment nationwide in the years to come."

Interesting, as is the use of the phrase "trans tipping point" which was widely used by "progressives" to claim that gender identity ideology was on the rise in 2014/15. In the space of just a decade it's apparently swinging back the other way.

Sadly I think this court case will be completely overshadowed initially by the election until maybe the decision is given.

Two dozen - either just under or just over half. All 'conservative' or across the divide?
