Today SCOTUS heard the case #USvSkrmetti involves a Tennessee law that bans gender affirming care to trans minors (i.e. hormone blockers).
@elienyc.bsky.social (on BlueSky) thinks the bigots will rule 6-3.
The *worst* case scenario for this decision isn't just the recission of trans rights. It's that #SCOTUS basically makes sex discrimination a thing you can never prove.
@lisagetspolitik that's not how the legal system in the US works, though.
SCOTUS sitting as an appellate court here doesn't rule on whether you can never prove sex discrimination. The question is whether in this particular case there is clearly sex discrimination, and this case is very different from so many others where that charge is made.
SCOTUS cannot rule through this case that sex discrimination is a thing you can never prove.
