VERGONIA!

Consistent in that christo-fascist, patriarchy-upholding way, I guess.

Recognize. We are in a time where #Justice & the #SCOTUS have NOTHING to do with each other. Act accordingly.

Women are just bigger children to conservatives so this absolutely tracks.

saw someone on Facebook earlier saying "ABOUT TIME!!! KIDS DON'T BELONG TO THE SCHOOLS OR THE GOVERNMENT!!!" ma'am, they're people, not property, they don't "belong" to anybody. parenting is caretaking, not ownership.

It's consistent in that they view women and children as property.

Seems to follow a type of logic to me. Both treat women and children as property of men. Which is right in line with the way right wing people want the world to be.

They say it’s because parents have a right to know about their kids’ “mental health.” As if being trans is some kind of illness.

Yeah my sense of it is that the Florida ruling is correct but this is obviously wrong in light of that. What’s good for the goose ain’t apparently good for the gander anymore

it's reconciled if you assume "parents" means "fathers"

Fuck the patriarchy!

Yup. Everything else is window dressing bsky.app/profile/cara...

The thought police has been upheld by SCOTUS.

It all goes back to the ancient Greeks and the hierarchy of creation.

"Children don't have rights" is pretty firmly precedented in US law, I'm afraid.

Fuck @SCOTUS

Unless the parents are trying to get healthcare for their trans kids. Then kids are the property of the state.

There's a deeply rooted right to control those lessers: women and children.

isn't this literally a step away from declaring child abuse laws unconstitutional?

Reading between the lines of majority on the parents' treatment of their trans kids is appalling. "The parents were not initially told that their kids were trans. But when they found out they were so abusive about it that the kids wanted to kill themselves. The kids were hospitalized many times."

The court is has basically given up any integrity it may have had - it is a puppet court for the oligarch's and hopefully there will be changes. Term limits, no taking pay-off (a la Thomas), no having your debt paid off (Kavanaugh), no severely unqualified appointees (Barrett).

Also fine for the state to ban parents from getting care for their tans kids.

This is actually a consistent ruling if you look at it with the belief that women and children are property of men. It fucking sucks that anyone in this day & age would think like that, but it does explain these rulings.

But they're only property of the cishet, Christian men who agree with them. That's the point; the parents of the trans kids in red states aren't allowed this decision.

It's ok for lawyers in front of Scotus to point to the logical inconsistency of it all. We all pretend like they have any legitimacy left.

it's not hypocritical as long as you view women and children as nonhuman property, then it makes perfect sense! :S

Yankees really dead set on rewinding a few centuries of progress it's disgusting.
