Can you imagine the unspeakable viciousness of those who target a small, vulnerable group in society – kids who are distressed about their bodies and need medical care? Can you imagine anything more barbaric than enacting legislation to prevent those children, who are suffering and tortured by suicidal thoughts, from accessing the healthcare they need? Forcing their desperate families to consider relocating out of state? These are clearly evil bigots, driven by reactionary adherence to stereotypes of what girls or boys ought to be. They are far right religious extremists and other diehard MAGA flag-wavers who hate the progress we have been making on equality in our society and want to reverse it.

That is more or less the message you get if you watch or listen to an MSNBC show covering the Supreme Court hearing on December 4th to decide whether Tennessee’s ban on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for children is constitutional. Known as the Skrmetti case, after the name of Tennessee’s Attorney-General.
