In a victory for common sense and parental rights, a federal appeals court has allowed Tennessee to implement a law prohibiting physicians from providing risky medical treatments to juveniles with gender identity issues. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit concluded wisely that the groups challenging the law failed to demonstrate that it violates the Constitution. At last, a court with some sense!

The three-judge panel reversed a previous ruling that temporarily suspended the enforcement of the law by a vote of 2-1. The majority opinion was composed by Judge Jeffrey Sutton, who noted that the challengers lacked constitutional precedent to support their claims. Almost as if they invented them!
Additionally, Judge Sutton emphasized the need for caution when approaching novel and contentious medical debates. It is not the responsibility of justices to intervene in matters they lack expertise in. The left, however, cannot resist the chance to use the Constitution as a weapon in their mission to advance their own agenda.
This decision is a breath of fresh air in light of the growing trend among Republican legislators to implement reasonable regulations for medical procedures performed on transgender minors. It is time for someone to protect these vulnerable infants from possible long-term damage. Always prioritize the safety and well-being of children over political decorum.
While medical associations may assert that gender-affirming care is essential for saving lives, the supporting evidence is at best tenuous. The fact that these organizations prioritize ideology over the potential hazards of these treatments is far too convenient. Thankfully, Tennessee has chosen to adhere to scientific evidence rather than capitulating to activist physicians.
The decision of the court of appeals also emphasizes the significance of state legislatures in resolving issues concerning controversial medical procedures for juveniles. Unless there is a clear violation of the Constitution, state legislators should have the authority to secure the constituents' best interests. It's called state sovereignty, folks!
Let's hope that by September 30, the appeals court will issue a conclusive judgment in favor of Tennessee's law. The children of Tennessee deserve better than to be participants in the identity politics game of the left. Kudos to the legislators who had the fortitude to put the welfare of children ahead of the demands of a vocal minority.
