Democrats Suffer Premature Celebration, Tennessee Ban on Child Medical 'Transitions' Back in ForceBy Bonchie
July 08, 2023
In late June, U.S. District Judge Eli Richardson ruled against a Tennessee law that seeks to ban the mutilation of children in the name of “gender-affirming care.” Following the lead of several other judges around the country, the decision rested on the idea that not allowing doctors to medically “transition” minors was a violation of the equal protection clause within the Constitution.
Reuters reported the story, spinning it as one of a series of defeats against states that had sought to protect children from such procedures. The ACLU also took a victory lap in the aftermath while others bragged on social media.

But I digress, in a rare Saturday ruling, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has stepped in to silence all the left-wing celebration.
