SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT: Fact-Checking Claims in Support of Child Gender Mutilation at SCOTUS

Advocates for the transgender chemical castration of children at the Supreme Court made at least six misleading claims during oral arguments for U.S. v. Skrmetti this week. The Daily Signal's Tyler O'Neil breaks them down:

1. ‘Puberty blockers’ are reversible.
2. ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio claimed that chemical castration drugs “reduce the risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidality, which are all indicators of potential suicide.”
3. Puberty is “harmful” to individuals who identity with a gender opposite their biological sex.
4. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson suggested that it is the same thing for boys who experience puberty too early to take “puberty blockers,” and for girls who want to appear like boys to take “puberty blockers” to stop their natural puberty.
5. Justice Elena Kagan argued that “one of the articulated purposes of this law is to essentially to encourage gender conformity and to discourage anything other than gender conformity.”
6. Justice Jackson repeatedly compared SB1 to the Virginia law banning interracial marriage that the Supreme Court struck down in Loving v. Virginia (1967).
