Skrmetti Is a Partial Victory for Common Sense

In a much-anticipated decision, United States v. Skrmetti, the Supreme Court handed a win to states seeking to protect children from sex-rejecting hormonal and surgical procedures. The 6–3 decision, with Chief Justice Roberts writing for the majority, dealt a significant blow to the transgender juggernaut, curtailing the strategy of using courts to thwart legislative or executive action that protects children from the harms of “transition” procedures. But the Justices shied away from addressing more fundamental definitions of the human person, meaning we’ll likely see the transgender issue in court again before long.
