Democrats Have A New Plan To Make Kids Hate Guns

Gun control groups told the Supreme Court this week that making sure kids can get things like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones is a “crucial component” in the fight against gun crime.

Groups like Giffords, the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, Team Enough, and March For Our Lives Action asked the Supreme Court to overturn a Tennessee law that forbids sex change procedures for minors. They said that laws like this create a “climate of hostility that directly puts transgender individuals at risk.”

The groups also said that transgender teens and young adults are more likely to kill themselves with a gun when they can’t get “gender-affirming care,” which is another name for medical treatments that can forever alter a person’s life.

The groups said, “Giving transgender youth access to gender-affirming care is not only medically necessary in light of the ongoing gun violence crisis gripping our nation; it is also a crucial part of our fight against the epidemic of firearm violence that disproportionately hurts this vulnerable population.”

The groups said it was impossible to ignore the link between a “spike in violence” and “discriminatory laws.”

The groups said that “SB1 hurts transgender youth’s ability to be themselves safely in public by denying them access to gender-affirming medical care. It also spreads the harmful and false idea that transgender people who want to undergo medical transition are a threat to society. This double effect—making transgender people more visible as possible targets while also stirring up social fears—makes it easier for violence to happen to a group that was already at risk.”

A spokesperson for March For Our Lives, Yvin Shin, said that the group “won’t stop working until trans kids, like all people, can live healthy, safe and authentic lives in a world free from gun violence.”

Dr. Hilary Cass “looked at all the transgender medical studies that happened in England over four years and found “weak proof” that giving children puberty blockers is a good idea.”

The report also said that most of the studies that showed “gender-affirming” treatments lowered the risk of suicide had “major scientific problems.”

The study found that there wasn’t enough evidence to back the claim that gender-affirming treatment lowers the risk of suicide.

Audrey Hale, the person who attacked a private Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, in March 2023 and killed six people, was found to be transgender. Hale’s diary, which came out in its entirety on Tuesday, showed how she dealt with her feelings of not fitting in with her body.
