🧵Last night, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals delivered a devastating ruling for the trans cult. No other court decision has so thoroughly dismantled, point-by-point, every disingenuous argument from trans activists. https://t.co/5LZG9YZXCG

Walsh explained that the case originated from laws passed in Tennessee and Kentucky after his reporting on Vanderbilt’s gender clinic, which revealed the financial motivations behind certain gender treatments. He emphasized that trans activists and the ACLU were vehemently opposed to the bans and initially succeeded in blocking them, but the court’s ruling overturned that decision.
2/ The case arose because of laws in TN & KY banning the use of puberty blockers & sterilizing cross-sex hormones on kids. The laws were passed after my reporting on Vanderbilt’s gender clinic, and how they see some gender “treatments” as big money makers. https://t.co/fzOVq8Lfd0

Walsh then delved into the court’s reasoning behind the ruling, highlighting its affirmation of voters’ rights to ban medical procedures they deem immoral or dangerous. He also pointed out that the court acknowledged the potential dangers of so-called “gender-affirming care” and cited the cautionary stance of WPATH, the leading organization in trans healthcare.

Furthermore, Walsh highlighted recent revelations that challenged the justification for puberty blockers. He cited a re-analysis of UK data, which revealed that a significant number of transgender youth experienced mental health issues after undergoing such treatments. He also criticized the ACLU’s attempt to argue for special protections for transgender individuals, pointing out that they are not a politically powerless group.
8/ In their attempt to win the case despite this evidence, the ACLU claimed that “transgender people” are a special category entitled to unique protections under the Constitution & argued that any law affecting only “trans” people is akin to a law affecting only black people.

According to Walsh, this ruling sets a significant precedent and deals a blow to the arguments of trans activists. He emphasized that parents do not have the right to subject their children to harmful procedures and praised the court for articulating this common-sense perspective. Walsh concluded by expressing hope that the fight against transgenderism will continue to gain momentum.
What are the arguments made by Matt Walsh against allowing children to undergo gender treatments without informed consent?
Healthcare.
4/ ⬆️ from the ruling: “Parents of a minor do not have an unfettered right to make medical decisions for a child… The Supreme Court…has already made clear that parental rights are not absolute… Voters may decide which procedures they will and will not recognize.'”

Furthermore, Walsh highlighted the court’s acknowledgment that the potential harm caused by these treatments becomes even more significant when applied to minors who lack the capacity to give informed consent. He argued that it is unjust and dangerous to allow children to permanently alter their bodies based on temporary feelings of gender dysphoria.
6/ “the nature of transgender care makes informed consent all the more difficult to gauge when the patients are minors not yet able to weigh the known risks and consequences of treatment.…It’s unconscionable that the law would allow these procedures on confused children.”

Walsh concluded his statements by commending the court for recognizing the importance of protecting vulnerable children and prioritizing their well-being over the agendas of trans activists. He urged other states to follow suit and take similar steps to safeguard the future of gender-confused children.
8/ ”Children suffering from gender dysphoria deserve our help, our love, and surely more than most, our protection. The Court’s ruling acknowledges this undeniable truth. All states should follow suit and protect the young and vulnerable from these irreversible mistakes.”
