In state after state, conservative lawmakers this year have banned medical procedures for transgender youth. Now, a growing number of federal judges are blocking those laws from taking effect.
On June 15, 2020, the Court ruled in a 6–3 decision covering all three cases that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity is necessarily also discrimination “because of sex” as prohibited by Title VII.
It essentially means that sexuality and gender identity fall under “sex”, a very well protected class. You can’t hire, fire, refuse service, etc based on protected classes. Writing laws that specifically ban healthcare for protected classes shouldn’t even be a consideration.
I don’t understand how any of these laws are valid under the SCOTUS case Bostock vs. Clayton County.
