Big case on Wednesday. In theory it might be a big win for reality, but we can't underestimate the power of the idea of gender stereotypes have in the US and the money involved from the gender industry.
Decent Economist article covers the implications:
A big transgender-rights case heads to America’s Supreme Court
The justices take on paediatric gender medicine
A case to be heard by the Supreme Court on December 4th is set to reignite debate about one of the election’s most controversial issues: the rights of transgender people, and specifically the medical transitioning of minors. In 2023, Tennessee enacted Senate Bill 1 (SB1), which bans puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgery for minors who identify as trans. It is one of 26 states that have done so. Now, in United States v Skrmetti, the federal government, supported by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), is suing Tennessee on behalf of the parents of three teenagers, claiming the ban violates the equal-protection clause of the constitution’s 14th Amendment.

The deeper story behind the case.
WoLF Files to SCOTUS in US v. Skrmetti to Protect Children from “Gender” Medicine
Today, WoLF filed an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in U.S. v. Skrmetti, defending laws that ban the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and genital surgeries on minors for so-called “gender affirmation.”
WoLF argues that these procedures not only cause permanent harm, but also stem from an ideological movement that seeks to erase biological reality to the detriment of society’s most vulnerable—children, women, and LGB individuals. As this case heads to the Nation’s highest court, the stakes for children’s futures have never been higher.

Who’s Who in US v. Skrmetti
Drugged kids, a tacky gynecologist, and Miss Idaho
American lawsuits aren’t about ideas. They’re about people.
You might think Skrmetti, the case that’s scheduled for oral argument before the Supreme Court on Wednesday, is about discrimination or pediatric gender medicine (PGM). But it’s actually about three kids who want to be the opposite sex, their eager moms, and a gynecologist whose YouTube channel is called Crotch Talk.
These plaintiffs are represented by the voluble trans activist Chase Strangio, who has joined forces with her friend Elizabeth Prelogar, the US Solicitor General, to battle the Attorney General of Tennessee, Jonathan Skrmetti, over whether his state’s ban on PGM violates the US Constitution.

On the American Academy of Pediatrics' Faulty Brief to the Supreme Court About Gender-Care Bans
My breakdown of the amicus, or "friend-of-the-court", brief that the AAP and a roster of other medical societies submitted to the high court, which is riddled with flaws and remarkable omissions.
