SaysWho? Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Supreme Court lets stand ruling that protects people with gender dysphoria under disability law APNEWS.COM The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to review a first-of-its-kind ruling from a federal appeals court that found people with gender dysphoria are entitled to the protections of the Americans With Disabilities Act. Quote “By declining to hear this case, the Supreme Court implicitly acknowledges what those who have seriously examined the issue have concluded: the ADA protects people who experience gender dysphoria, including transgender and nonbinary people, from being discriminated against on that basis,” said Olivia Hunt, policy director for the National Center for Transgender Equality. Quote But in a scathing dissent, Justice Samuel Alito said he found “several aspects” of the 4th Circuit’s reasoning in the case “troubling” and said the ruling “will raise a host of important and sensitive questions” on participation in women’s and girls’ sports, the use of traditional pronouns and sex-reassignment therapy by physicians who object to such treatment on religious or moral grounds. In its ruling in August, the 4th Circuit became the first federal appellate court in the country to find the 1990 landmark disabilities law protects transgender people who experience anguish and other symptoms as a result of the disparity between their assigned sex and their gender identity. Silver lining from today. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 In context, this feels like classic Roberts throwing a bone to distract from the horrible decision(s) he just simultaneously threw down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
