Even the SC didn’t want to put up with his nonsense.

Wahots, Gift article, so anyone should be able to read it :)
sculd, Thank you!!!
crank, I’m sure it’s fake on principal. First of all, the subheading:
Washington State, like more than 20 other states, bars licensed therapists from trying to change the sexual orientation or gender identity of minors in their care.
NYT shouldn’t be publishing such misleading headlines but @Wahots why are you repeating their misinformation?
I am less than 50 words in. Still time to be proven wrong.
crank, The Supreme Court said on Monday that it would not hear
first half of the first sentence of the first paragraph and already we have dumb bullshit. This is what happens to 99% of everything submitted to the US spreme court. Rejected.
But thing special. Means NOTHING
crank, “This case is not the first instance of the Ninth Circuit restricting medical professionals’ First Amendment rights, and, without the court’s review, I doubt it will be the last,” he wrote. “This court recently reversed the Ninth Circuit’s decision to uphold a law compelling crisis pregnancy centers to disseminate government-drafted notices.”
Uh “crisis pregnancy centres” in the US context are usually sham medicine covertly religious anti-choice situations pretending to be a low rent planned parenthood. Doesn’t anyone know what is being referred to here? I am guessing the “government drafted notice” may not be so heinous but idk.
Shhalahr, The challenged law forbids licensed therapists there from performing conversion therapy, which it defines to include “efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions, or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same sex.”
Gee, now I’m wondering if anyone’s tried Aromantic conversion therapy. If not, I should shut up so don’t give anyone ideas.
yessikg, It used to be a thing in ye old days
crank, wait til they try to ban aromatic attractions
Shhalahr, Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Brett M. Kavanaugh dissented.
Because of course they did.
“This petition asks us to consider whether Washington can censor counselors who help minors accept their biological sex,” Justice Thomas wrote. “
Amazing. Every word in that sentence was wrong.
millie, Supreme court making a good decision just to see what it feels like.
Dislodge3233, And then parents wonder why their children don’t talk about their private lives.
Not only would you have emotionally abused me. When the state protects me, you would have sued for the right to abuse me.
taanegl, “States do not lose the power to regulate the safety of medical treatments performed under the authority of a state license merely because those treatments are implemented through speech rather than through scalpel,” Judge Ronald M. Gould wrote for the panel.
