The was another trans student case that went before the Supreme Court and they just turned the case down!
Of course, they "grossly" mischaracterized its policies. They can’t see past all the lies that the Republicans have said about us.
The Connecticut trans athlete case that is being reheard also found that lack of “injury” with the plaintiffs, the students who sued got into the college that they want and they got athletic scholarships.
And now the Supreme Court also said no thanks. Meanwhile they just heard the United States v. Skrmetti last month and we are waiting to heard the results of that case in June.
Wait a minute. You mean this is our favor? Yup.US Supreme Court rejects school gender-identity policy challenge

December 9, 2024The U.S. Supreme Court, turning away another case involving transgender issues, declined on Monday to hear a bid to revive a lawsuit against a public school district in Wisconsin over a policy to support gender identity of students that some parents challenged on religious rights and other grounds.
The Supreme Court rebuffed an appeal by a group of parents of students in the Eau Claire Area School District, backed by two conservative legal groups, of a lower court's ruling that they lacked the necessary legal standing to bring the lawsuit.
Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh dissented from the court's decision to deny the appeal.
The Wisconsin lawsuit is one of many legal disputes concerning transgender people playing out across the United States, including which bathroom facilities they may use and which sports teams they may join.
The lawsuit, filed by the conservative legal groups America First Legal and Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, was brought in 2022 by a group called Parents Protecting Our Children. The plaintiffs said the district's policy violates the rights of the parents to religious freedom under the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment and due process under the 14th Amendment.
Most of the group's members hold religious beliefs that "there are only two sexes" and "would not immediately 'affirm' whatever beliefs their children might have about their gender," the lawsuit stated.
The school district said the challengers have "grossly" mischaracterized its policies aimed at providing an inclusive school environment, and that any plan made to address the needs of transgender, nonbinary or gender non-conforming students is available to parents in the student's school file.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen Crocker found that the challengers did not experience a legal injury themselves and therefore lacked the legal standing to sue. None claimed that their child is transgender or that the district had applied the policy to their child, the judge found. The Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that decision in March.
And now the Supreme Court also said no thanks. Meanwhile they just heard the United States v. Skrmetti last month and we are waiting to heard the results of that case in June.

Lower courts had found that the parents lacked the legal right, or standing. Among other reasons, the courts said no parent presented evidence that the policy affected them or their children.
A unanimous three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals included two judges Republican Donald Trump appointed during his first term.
I originally found the Reuter's article on Yahoo News and you know that they have comments, well reading some of those comments…

We should leave children alone regarding this issue. Let them explore and decide as adults. Most are not mature enough to make this determination.

This is silly, because the whole point is that OTHER PEOPLE are trying to NOT leave children alone. They are DEMANDING to FORCE their beliefs on the children of other people.

You do not think most are not mature enough to know what they want to be called? Did you know who you at your core when you were a teenager, I did.

WA state legislature thinks the kids can. Allows minors to undergo medical procedures without parental consent.

Republicans need to leave these people alone.
:D
You're right, you should leave children alone and let them seek medical care.

You have the right to be Christian, or to be a member of any other religion in the United States. We are not subservient to any one religion by design. That's the way the framers designed it in the Constitution. See the first amendment.
