The Supreme Court is likely to legalize conversion therapy on minors. That is horrifying. It shouldn't be surprising. My latest on substack: alexmaresca.substack.com/p/the-suprem...
The Supreme Court is Likely to Legalize Conversion Therapy. That is Horrifying. It Shouldn’t Be Surprising.

Skrmetti was the culmination of a decade long effort to turn the tide back against LGBTQ rights by the far right. They specifically targeted trans people after Obergefell to cleave the community. Now their next target is to overturn Obergefell. That's the end goal. We were a stepping stone to that.

Ok but why are they algorithmically elevated and not suppressed? Why are people primed to receive their message and not reject it? Why are politicians not meaningfully pushing back against their desires but instead adopting them?

Of the many horrifying things in the Skrmetti decision, one that’s gotten less attention is the majority’s tacit endorsement of conversion therapy for trans folks. The decision suggests that there are “less invasive” ways than gender affirming care to address gender dysphoria.

BREAKING: In a 6-3 Roberts decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that Tennessee's ban on gender affirming care is not subject to heightened scrutiny. This decision will strip millions of trans people off their constitutional rights.
