The United States Supreme Court recently heard arguments in a case that could determine the future of so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors. Tennessee is one of nine states with a law banning puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and body-mutilating surgeries for children. These laws have sparked a national debate, as the radical LGBT agenda is exposed for exploiting today’s youth. In the wake of these monstrosities, a new industry of child mutilation has risen – an macabre industry that threatens the very future of medical ethics and the mental and physical health of children and young adults.

The genital mutilation of minors is not medical care

The term “gender-affirming care” is a euphemism for a barbaric and irreversible assault on children’s bodies and minds. Puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries like castration are not treatments; they are mutilations. These procedures are not about care; they are about compliance with a dangerous ideology that prioritizes adult desires over the physical and psychological health of children. The fact that these practices are being pushed on minors—individuals who lack the maturity to fully understand the lifelong consequences of such decisions—is nothing short of child abuse.

The Supreme Court’s decision in this case could have far-reaching implications, not only for the medical autonomy, healthy puberty, and future fertility of minors, but also for religious liberty, medical ethics, and morality itself. A faith-based nonprofit group has warned that a ruling in favor of the LGBT agenda could create an “unavoidable conflict” between Christian values and the radical trans ideology. This conflict is not merely theoretical; it is already playing out in custody battles, where parents who oppose gender transitions for their children are being marginalized and silenced. The normalization of transgenderism could further erode religious freedoms, forcing Christians to choose between their faith and the well-being of their children.

The arguments presented by progressive justices during the oral hearings were particularly troubling. Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s comparison of body-mutilating surgeries to over-the-counter medication is a grotesque distortion of reality. The risks of taking aspirin are negligible compared to the permanent infertility, physical disfigurement, and psychological trauma caused by cross-sex hormones and surgeries. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s attempt to equate Tennessee’s law with Virginia’s ban on interracial marriage is equally misguided. Race is an immutable characteristic, while gender confusion is a transient state that children often grow out of. To suggest that these two issues are comparable is to trivialize the profound and irreversible harm inflicted by gender-affirming “care.”

The radical LGBTQ agenda is destroying bodies and minds, exploiting children

The reality is that vulnerable, autistic children are not equipped to make life-altering decisions about their bodies. Neither are children raised in an abusive and/or exploitative environment where perversion is normal and pushed on them. The push for gender-affirming care is driven by activists who prioritize ideology over science and profit over children’s welfare. The medical community has been co-opted by this agenda, with doctors and pharmaceutical companies reaping the benefits of prescribing puberty blockers and hormones to vulnerable minors. This is not healthcare; it is exploitation.

The consequences of these procedures are devastating. Children who undergo puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones often experience irreversible infertility, loss of sexual function, and severe psychological distress. Many later regret their decisions, but by then, the damage is done. The mutilation of their bodies cannot be undone, and the scars—both physical and emotional—will last a lifetime. This is not progress; it is a tragedy.

As the Supreme Court deliberates, it must prioritize the protection of children over the demands of a radical ideology. The Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause was never intended to enshrine practices that inflict irreversible harm on minors. The court must uphold Tennessee’s law and send a clear message: children are not pawns in a political game, and their bodies are not playgrounds for perverted adult experimentation.
