In Judge Hinkle’s written opinion we find: “The ban on treating minors with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause”.
The truth is the clause in question (“No State shall . . . deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws…”) requires an equal application of the laws when applied to “any person” in its jurisdiction. Its text does not, nor was it ever intended to, forbid distinctions in law based upon sex. This is the real “elephant” in the room contrary Judge Hinkle’s pontificated “elephant in the room”, and his adolescent charge of “bigotry” which he banters in his written opinion.
The irrefutable fact is, Judge Hinkle embraces and perpetuates the subjugation of the Fourteenth Amendment's limitations by pretending it is a bar to distinctions in state laws based upon sex.
As judge Hinkle wrote in his opinion . . . "Any proponent of the challenged rule and statute should put up or shut up."
So, Judge Hinkle, what have I posted with reference to the Fourteenth Amendment's text or legislative intent, that is inaccurate? How about you, now putting up or shutting up?
