US Senator Cory Booker criticized the Supreme Court for its recent decision to uphold a Tennessee law that bans gender-affirming care for trans youth under 18. The 6-3 ruling sets a precedent for similar bans across the US. Booker expressed his disappointment on social media, emphasizing that the ruling abandons trans children and highlights the real fears they face. He also drew parallels between gun violence as a significant threat to children and the societal issues trans youth endure, underscoring the need for empathy and protection for marginalized groups.
Today the Supreme Court chose to abandon trans children in America. Upholding the Tennessee ban on medical care for trans kids is heartless.
I know trans children. I hear the fear, I hear the worry that they're not safe. The number one killer of children in America is gun violence.
