Ensuring minors can access puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones is 'crucial component'

Ensuring minors can access procedures like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones is a "crucial component" in the fight against firearm violence, gun control groups told the Supreme Court Tuesday.

In an amicus brief filed in United States v. Skrmetti, organizations including Giffords, the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, Team Enough and March For Our Lives Action urged the Supreme Court to strike down a Tennessee law banning sex change procedures for minors, claiming such laws contribute to a "climate of hostility that puts transgender individuals directly at risk." The groups also argued that youth who identify as transgender are at a higher risk of committing suicide using a firearm when they cannot access "gender-affirming care," a euphemism for life-altering medical interventions.

"In the face of the ongoing gun violence crisis gripping our nation, ensuring access to gender affirming care for transgender youth is not merely a matter of medical necessity—it is a crucial component in our fight against the epidemic of gun violence that disproportionately threatens this vulnerable population," the groups argued.

The correlation between a "surge in violence" and "discriminatory legislation" cannot be ignored, the groups argued.

So far I would say that the facts clearly show the opposite to be true.

Yep.

It isn't the 'toxic masculinity' that seems to be the problem.

Turning a generation into a bunch of neotenic humans and eunuchs isn't likely to cut down of frustration with anything, or the envy that seems to be at the root of most hate flying around out there.

These kids have been persuaded by some freakshow that they're something other than what God created (probably because they never heard they were created by God). What they need is not to have their parts hacked off but a mental health counselor who can make clear to them that they are what they're meant to be, they are what they are, and this is life. Make the most of it.

Agreed. The alternative is producing angry people who often unfortunately express their anger by taking it out on themselves or others. If they accept who they are, that is a big step toward not being angry at themselves or others, including blaming others because they don't think mutilation is the answer (something it appears many who were mutilated have found out the hard way_.

Discriminatory laws?  Where?  I see it as gov PUSHING this everywhere as is everything in public - entertainment, doctors, hospitals!  Who has their way and the privilege?

More like indulging kids in their fantasies and defects and saying “everything is about you and what you want” is what leads to this, more and more?

If a kid said they wanted to be a fire truck, they'd be fitted with wheels red paint and lights and siren...it's almost that bad.
