Normally Podcast: The SCOTUS Landmark Ruling on Youth Gender Treatments · Normally

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: As far back on.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Normally, the show with normalis takes from when the news
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: gets weird.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I am Mark.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Havin Ham and I'm Carol Markowitz, and I'm not sure
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: is this the special episode? It was a special episode yesterday.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: We're just doing a lot of special episodes. Is what's happening?
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Because we cannot rest. There's no rest allowed.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: But yeah, this is our first time having three episodes
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: in one week. It's been a big news week and
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: we felt like we couldn't just miss out on commenting
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: on all of it. So here we are again. The
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: US Supreme Court today upheld the Tennessee van on youth.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: They call it Gender firm and Care. We know it
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: as access to puberty blockers, hormone treatments, sometimes surgery. It's
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: called the Scrimmetti ruling, and it came down today, so
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: we felt like we had to talk about it.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is based on a twenty twenty three
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: law in Tennessee. It's called sp BE one that banned
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: this kind of treatment for transgender children and teens in
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the state of Tennessee. It stipulates that you can still
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: use hormone therapy for people who have precocious puberty, who
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: people who have stalled out and have other.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Forms of issues.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: The question before the court was basically like does this
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: violate the equal Protection Clause? And with a vote of
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: six to three, the Justice has decided that it does not.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: They said that it did not discriminate based on sex.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: They said that transgender was not a suspect or a
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: semi suspect class that would be those two things would
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: make it this laws subject to higher levels of scrutinary scrutiny.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: And so the interesting thing. Part of the interesting thing
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: to me too is that Roberts is writing for the
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: court and to have Roberts just bat down each of
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: these arguments, so I think that's fairly like more powerful
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and more unexpected than coming from someone who you assumed
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: would be on this side of it. So an interesting,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: an interesting win for normalcy. Frankly, Yeah, normal.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Wins today that you know, it doesn't win every day,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: but it won today, and it's it's nice to see
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: it because well, like we talk about on the show
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: a lot, it's it's tough to find. And I think
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: that this ruling really puts the Democrats into, uh backs
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: them into a corner that they are having trouble getting
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: out of which is their two main issues are extremely
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: unpopular with the American public. The Washington Post tried to
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: call this this ruling on a polarizing issue that the
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Trump administration has seized on, and Matt Whitlock notes on
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: X it's actually not polarizing. The Washington Post's own polling
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: found that overwhelming majority of American support banning sex change
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: treatments and surgeries for children. The Supreme Court upheld Tennessee's
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: right to take that popular action.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Wait, and do you know who actually seized upon it?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: The Biden administration worked with the transgender teens to bring
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: this to the Supreme Court. The whole reason it's at
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: the Supreme Court is because the Biden administration was like, nah,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: y'all can't do this. They actually seized upon it. The
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Trump administration ended up in this position with it going
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: to the Supreme Court.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, And so also Matt Woodlock points out that the
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Post's own polling and he said, he points out, you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: waypo is obviously not a conservative. Pollster found sixty eight
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: percent support for banning access to puberty blockers for kids
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: ten to fourteen and fifty eight percent for banning hormone
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: treatments for kids fifteen to seventeen. And this was in
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, before this really blew up as an issue,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: and those numbers have only gone up since.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: A couple of mainstream media headlines, just to add to
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: your collection breaking this is ap the the Supreme Court
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: upholds a Tennessee ban on gender affirming care for transgender miners.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: In a quote that's not it's actually it's not in quotes.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: This is just them in a huge setback for transgender rights.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: That's not a fair news headline at all. Another organization
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: said it authorizes harm for many transgender people in the US.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: It's like authorized is harm. They're just dealing with They're
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: dealing with the question of whether a Tennessee law violates
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: federal law of the Constitution, and they found that it
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: doesn't either. That's it right, right anyway? Can you imagine
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: going back to yourself in twenty twelve and telling yourself
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: in twenty twelve that in twenty twenty five it would
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: be a question put before the court whether a state
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: has the power to say no, under eighteen, you're not
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: allowed to have sex change surgery and hormones can you imagine.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I just think the world has lost their mind, and
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: actually not the world, just us, really just us. Most
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: European countries completely ban again what people call gender firming
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: care for minors, and it's just it's not acceptable in
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: so many different places. Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands all have
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: policies about not allowing this kind of thing, like puberty
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: blockers and hormone treatments. I believe Denmark recently joined that list.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: There's like it is just it's really only America. And
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I know I saw you get into it with the
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: American Academy of Pediatrics today.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Their statement is, the American Academy of Pediatric stance firmly
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: with pediatricians and families making healthcare decisions together and free
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: from political interference. We remain committed to advancing care that
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: protects the health, safety, and dignity of all children. And then,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: in their tweet, gender affirming care remains evidence based, medically
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: necessary care that improves the health and well being of
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: transgender use. That's the part where they're tripping up on. Okay,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: American Academy of Pediatrics is determined to be untrustworthy in
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: anything thorny, or they refuse to be smart, they refuse
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: to be nuanced, they refuse to look at changing evidence
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: or evidence at all because they're interested in signaling first.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: And what Europe has done is followed the evidence and
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: they have found this is either not convincing or there's
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: countervailing evidence that this is actually quite damaging to children,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: and so they have cut it out. The American Academy
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: of Pediatrics is like, nah, this is evidence based, and
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the truth is that the data is not there. And
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: when the data is there, it's either not convincing or
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: it's the opposite. I mean, it's like goes the opposite direction.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: So if they were following the evidence, and if they
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: were an evidence based organization, which we know from COVID
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: that they decided not to be, they would come to
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: and conclusions. And it is I know, I'm not surprised,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: but it is discouraging to watch all of these institutions
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: fail to be smart.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: This is your job, yeah, And the fact that they
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: are such an outlier, like a lot of what we
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: heard during for example, COVID or in other times when
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: conservatives are not the majority position, you hear this like, well,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: we all agree on this, so you must be wrong
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: in this case. They do not all agree on it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: They are pushing ahead with this anyway. One interesting note
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: is that Justice Thomas had a footnote in the ruling
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: where he points out that Chase Strangio, who is the
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: co director of the American Civil Liberties Union, and he
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: was the lawyer who brought this case to the Supreme
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Court on the side of wanting Tennessee to overturn their
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: ban on hormone and other therapies. Thomas points out that
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Strangio had conceded that medical treatment actually did nothing to
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: minimize the risk of suicide and kids who were having
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: issues with their gender. So it's you know, parents are
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: lied to that if you don't enforce this, if you
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: don't support this, your kid could kill themselves. Right. The
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: whole thing was, you know, would you rather have a
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: dead girl or a live boy? And it's wrong. And
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: it's also just wrong on the facts because getting them
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: hormone blockers and putting them on any kind of treatment
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: as a child does not actually minimize the risk of suicide.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: And just the idea that that kind of advice from
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: a medical professional is just a wholly emotional Blackmaile, has
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with the condition of your child, has
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with the evidence.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: We now know.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: It's horribly abusive for a provider to talk to parents
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: that way. It's coercive, it's nasty. It's just like which
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: doctor stuff. And you should you should not be doing.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: That with your patients.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: You should be having rational conversations with them about cost
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: benefit analyses.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: But again, as we learned during COVID.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: A lot of people capable of doing that. I do
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: think one of the downsides for the ACLU and transgender
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: activists and those who align with them about this case
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: is that it brought forward exactly that it's Strangio and
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the ACLU's arguments and.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: The data are weak.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: There's real week and that was brought to the four
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: because the Biden administration and Strangio and the ACLU and
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: all their fellow travelers decided we got to go to
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court on this. And what they may have ended
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: up doing is putting down a lot of precedent that
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: they didn't intend to put down, and they may have
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: put out a lot of info that gets a lot
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: more attention that they want it to be getting.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is again going back to the political political
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: ramifications of it. It's baffling to me that this is
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: what the Democrats have decided is their key issue and
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: it's so unpopular with the American people. Look, we've said
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: it on the show before. Do we think Democrats are
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: never going to win again? Of course not, of course,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: not that you know, there's two political parties in America.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: One of them wins some of the time, the other
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: one wins the other some of the time. And it's
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: i you know, there's no part of me that thinks
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: all the Democrats are out of the out of the ballgame.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: But the fact is that it's June twenty twenty five,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: and their two top issues are making sure that boys
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: can play in girls' sports and that kids and teens
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: get you know, hormone blockers and potentially surgery. And their
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: second issue is protecting the rights of the llegal immigrants
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: who are in the country without having gotten permission to
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: be here. And that is the two things that they
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: seem to care about the most. And it is just again,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: I'm sure they'll win again someday, but very very hard
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: to see that right now.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. Again.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: This is why I just think they're unable to make
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: a turn, they're unable to pivot. I think they were
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: unable to see that Strangio's arguments weren't great. I listened
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: to the oral arguments and was unimpressed. The briefs had
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: all sorts of bad information in them for that side
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: of the case. And Justine Thomas noted in his concurrence
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: today he said states are never required to substitute expert
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: opinion for their legislative judgment, and when the experts appear
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: to have compromised their credibility, it makes good sense to
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: chart a different course. Courts should not assume that self
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: described experts are correct, and can we sit to.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Those in the back as we learned during COVID.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Like we should write a book called as we Learned
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: during COVID, like the AAP.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: The people telling you this stuff, even your own provider,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: sometimes they are incorrect. Their data is not there. They're
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: not They're sometimes not familiar with the data and pretend
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: to be. And it's so this is like a real
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: blow for sanity, and it's it's funny. I was actually
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: at a I think I remember vaguely.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: It was a children's.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Birthday party in about twenty twelve, and like my friends
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: and I had just started having kids.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: This is like a one year old's birthday party.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: And I was standing around with a couple of a
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: couple of fellow politicos, and the transgender thing had sort
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: of just started to become part of the conversation and
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: we can decide whether to bleep this or not.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: But I said, you know.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I gotta say, if Democrats decide that penis and are
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: just not a thing anymore and they mean nothing, I
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: don't think that.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Will go well for them.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Good call.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: And it took many years for that prophecy to come true,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: but that was the discussion to day.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: But we were far away from the children when I
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: said this, right, it occurs sometimes they were one.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: They were like clear of my influence. At this point,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I have to.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Say that I used to be Again I may have
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: mentioned this before, but I used to consider myself somebody
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: that would be considered pro trands. I used all the
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: pronouns that people would want to use. It really was
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: them coming for the children that shook me out of it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: And I know, like the path that I took to
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: get here, I know that like things got crazier and
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: crazier and crazier. I wrote about it this at one
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: point that I was banned from a liberal site I
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: used to comment on because I said that trans people
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: have to disclose it and that became something unaccepted to stay.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: And as they kept pushing the envelope, they lost people
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: like me who would generally be on the side of
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: let people do whatever they want and let them live
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: how they want. But coming for the kids that was
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: the dividing line for me. For many Americans, we could
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: look back to a few years ago and this was
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: not an issue at all until it started coming for
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: the kids.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my two breaking points with it because like at
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: that particular time, it wasn't really like at.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: The forefront of political issues. It had just.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Become something that lefty activists were discussing and so politicos
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: were interested in that, and I was like, I just
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: don't think this is going to turn out.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Sure the media and voter is there with them on this,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I think I would have been of a
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: more libertarian bent until the policing of language and the
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: kid stuff, right, And I believe in our in guys.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: In my book, in a discussion is twenty fifteen, shortly after.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: This has become a national issue.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's still applicable, unfortunately, but an end of discussion.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: We noted that when it comes to trans issues, which
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: is a particularly speech policed area with a lot of
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: people willing to get you fired for saying the wrong things,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: at one point some coalition of trans allies and groups posted,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I believe a monthly if not weekly, update of language
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: that was okay to use, and we used that to say, hey,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: this just seems.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Like a no win situation.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: If we're going to go down this path, we can't
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: do monthly updates to everybody's acceptable language on these issues.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: And so those two things combined certainly gave me pause,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: and I think have given many, many many people pause.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's definitely a big part of it. Also, teachers
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: getting in trouble for not using the pronoun that the
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: teenager made up this week is clearly a huge issue.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Things like that just drove people away from you know
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: what would have been a non issue not that long ago.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: I also like to say, you know, I love that
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: movie The Crying Game. And when that Crying Game came out,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: that movie was seen as a very, very pro trans movie,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: a guy falls in love with a trans woman and
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: tries to overlook it, but it's really hard. But he
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: ultimately is in love with this woman who was once
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: a man, and that was seen as very very pro trans.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: That movie would be anti trans today. Oh yes, he
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: refers to her as a man. He says, you know,
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: she says, I'm just a girl, and he says, but
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: you're not a girl. And you know, things like that
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: would be completely not allowed now. And they you know,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: they drove people away, and that's just the reality of it.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back on normally.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: We do have one more bit of news just to
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: light in the mood here, which is that Trump has
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: installed at least one I don't know if he's done
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: both of them, but a one hundred foot flagpole, yeah,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I think with a giant a giant American flag on
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: it on the White House lawn is huge.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: It's like, you know, Texas sise huge.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it is both.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: It's it's like car dealership on a Texas highway level.
• 17:23
