The U.S. Supreme Court just did something remarkable: it injected sanity into an issue hijacked by gender extremists willing to experiment on the bodies of kids.

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court upheld Tennessee鈥檚 law banning puberty blockers and hormone treatments for kids who identify as transgender. That means states can restrict dangerous, irreversible medical procedures that alter a child鈥檚 body in ways they often come to regret. It鈥檚 a win for kids, for common sense, and for every parent who鈥檚 been bullied by a woke culture that treats gender confusion like a trendy accessory to post about on Instagram.

Washington should respond in kind and reject the push towards forever altering a child’s body. But we shouldn’t hold our collective breath for Democratic lawmakers to do what’s right.

Washington state’s position on trans kids is nonsensical and dangerous

Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts made it clear that the Tennessee law doesn鈥檛 discriminate. It doesn鈥檛 target boys or girls. It doesn鈥檛 鈥渆rase鈥� transgender people. It simply says that if you鈥檙e under 18, you don鈥檛 get to make permanent medical decisions based on feelings that often change with time. That鈥檚 not oppression. That鈥檚 called being responsible.

And yet, here in Washington State, our lawmakers continue down a path that鈥檚 not just reckless鈥攊t鈥檚 grotesque.

In Washington, a minor can鈥檛 legally get a tattoo, use a tanning booth, or even purchase cold medicine without a parent. You want to smoke or vape? Forget it. But if that same kid wants to take puberty blockers or irreversible hormones? Suddenly, no parent needed. The kid can even cut off their healthy breast tissue. The state not only allows it, but it protects that specious “right.” Under current law, minors can run away from home, show up at a state-funded shelter, and get gender-affirming care without their parents ever being told.

This is what happens when you put gender radicals in charge of policy. They鈥檝e weaponized identity and use vulnerable kids as political pawns to advance a fringe ideology. The Supreme Court isn’t having it.

SCOTUS pushes back against radical trans activists

The majority said Tennessee鈥檚 law is perfectly constitutional because it doesn鈥檛 discriminate based on sex or transgender status. It bans specific uses of drugs for specific diagnoses鈥攏amely, gender dysphoria 鈥� while still allowing those same drugs to treat conditions like precocious puberty or congenital defects. In other words, the law isn鈥檛 about who you are, but about why you鈥檙e seeking treatment.

The Court also rejected the idea that any mention of sex automatically turns a law into discrimination.

“The Court has never suggested that mere reference to sex is sufficient to trigger heightened scrutiny,” Roberts wrote, brushing aside the idea that regulating experimental medical practices constitutes bigotry. “And such an approach would be especially inappropriate in the medical context, where some treatments and procedures are uniquely bound up in sex.”

That鈥檚 crucial because it means states don鈥檛 have to be held hostage by activists who scream “transphobia!” anytime someone questions whether sterilizing a 13-year-old is a good idea.

Meanwhile, the dissent 鈥� authored by Justice Sonia Sotomayor 鈥� sounded like it came straight out of a TikTok activist thread. She claims the Court 鈥渁bandons transgender children and their families to political whims.鈥� And yet she’s the one who wants to fundamentally alter a child who was convinced by a liberal parent or teacher that she’s really a boy.

This is about protecting kids from state-sanctioned harm

We鈥檙e talking about 15-year-olds who will never experience sexual maturity, and 16-year-olds who need double mastectomies to match an identity they may not even hold by age 20. These are children, not political statements. The risks are enormous, the long-term data is lacking, and regret is very real. The United Kingdom has all but banned puberty blockers. Studies have consistently shown the problems with gender-affirming care, and some left-wing researchers have even hidden data they didn’t like.

But in Washington, the only thing that matters to lawmakers is that you affirm, affirm, affirm.

In this state, lawmakers have argued that teens shouldn鈥檛 be sentenced harshly for murder because their brains aren鈥檛 fully developed until their mid-20s. The science 鈥� when it鈥檚 convenient 鈥� says minors don鈥檛 understand consequences. But apparently that logic doesn鈥檛 apply when a 13-year-old says they were “born in the wrong body.” Suddenly, that teen is a reliable decision-maker who doesn鈥檛 need parental input and should be fast-tracked to permanent life-altering care.

The Supreme Court鈥檚 ruling is more than just a legal win 鈥� it鈥檚 a cultural reset. It puts the power back in the hands of states to protect kids from radical experimentation disguised as progress. Tennessee did the right thing. So did Florida, Alabama, and more than 20 other states that鈥檝e passed similar laws.

It鈥檚 time Washington joined them.
