Technically they're ruling on equal protection. This will extend to birth certificates and possibly state sponsored sports.
And the troons are going to lose because they have to prove pretextual animus. Sex based discrimination (Bostock) is not enough after Dobbs.
The Constitution makes no reference to troonery and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. That provision has been held to guarantee some rights that are not mentioned in the Constitution, but any such right must be “deeply rooted in this Nation's history and tradition” and “implicit in the concept of ordered liberty.”
Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022) 597 U.S. 215, 231.
First, procuring troon care is not a fundamental constitutional right because such a right has no basis in the Constitution's text or in our Nation's history.
Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022) 597 U.S. 215, 300.
Second, a law regulating troonery, like other health and welfare laws, is entitled to a “strong presumption of validity".
"" It must be sustained if there is a rational basis on which the legislature could have thought that it would serve legitimate state interests."
Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022) 597 U.S. 215, 301.
Third, "The regulation of a medical procedure that only one sex can undergo does not trigger heightened constitutional scrutiny
unless the regulation is a “mere pretex[t] designed to effect an invidious discrimination against members of one sex or the other.” Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022) 597 U.S. 215, 236.
Finally, Mr. Airdropshitposts is correct. Bostock is irrelevant here.
"Under Title VII, too,
we do not purport to address bathrooms, locker rooms, or anything else of the kind. The only question before us is whether an employer who fires someone simply for being homosexual or transgender has discharged or otherwise discriminated against that individual “because of such individual's sex.”
Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia (2020) 590 U.S. 644, 681.
This made me laugh because Glucksberg is a substantive due process test. It is NOT an equal protection test as Captain Retard-O claims.
