"Yesterday, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said she is “really worried” about “the First Amendment operating in an environment of threatening circumstances from the government’s perspective,” and the government might not be able to stop a hypothetical “epidemic” of children killing themselves by jumping off tall buildings.
As Jackson uttered those words, some American state governments make it illegal for doctors to “encourage or pressure” children not to “jump off the tall building” of transgender medical procedures — even if those kids might change their minds about their identity in a few short years.
At the same time, parents are told by government officials, doctors, teachers, and CEOs — an entire society, in fact — that failing to accept their child’s gender identity could very well cause their child to kill themselves, perhaps by jumping off a tall building.
Freedom, they say, can only be achieved by accepting the government’s power over the relationship between parents and children. If you refuse their generous offer, your children can be taken away. So be free! Accept the offer that can’t be refused!"
