Justice Alito Destroys the Evil Practice of So-Called ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ that the Biden Admin. Is Defending

EXCERPT:

ALITO: “I want to ask you a question about the state of medical evidence at the present time. In your petition, you made a sweeping statement, which I — I will quote, ‘overwhelming evidence establishes that the appropriate gender-affirming treatment with puberty blockers and hormones directly and substantially improves the physical psychological well-being of transgender adolescents with gender dysphoria.’ That was in November 2023. Now, even before then, the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare wrote the following. They currently assess, quote, ‘that the risks of puberty blockers and gender-affirming treatment are likely to outweigh the expected benefits of these treatments,’ which is directly contrary to the sweeping statement in your petition. After the filing of your petition, of course, we saw the — the release of the Cass report in the United Kingdom, which found a complete lack of high-quality evidence showing that the benefits of the treatments in question here outweigh the risks. And so I wonder if you would like to stand by the statement that you made in your petition or if you think it would now be appropriate to modify that and withdraw the statement that there is overwhelming evidence establishing that these treatments have benefits that greatly outweigh the risks and the dangers.”
