    Interestingly I won’t be surprised when this specific ruling is used to protect trans rights

    What?

    How is medical professionals being able to tell patients false and misleading information going to be used to support trans rights?

      They also can’t be forced to lie or provide false and misleading information as well. The ruling even mentions the American Psychiatric Association calling homosexuality a mental disorder as a case where the AMA was wrong. It could end up being very interesting in how lower courts interpret this in the future in cases blocking trans care bans.

        It’s just about words…

        Not actually treatements

        But that’s not even getting into how crazy expecting logical consistency or fair enforcement is…
