Judge further halts Trump’s order banning transgender surgeries: ‘A bare desire to do harm "

[1LoverofGod]

A federal judge extended the pause on President Donald Trump‘s executive orders aimed at defunding transgender procedures for children and claimed that Trump had a “desire to harm” transgender youth in her decision.

The lawsuit brought forward by attorneys general from Colorado, Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington argues the orders violate the Fifth Amendment’s equal protection clause and the Tenth Amendment’s limitations on federal authority over state medical practices. U.S. District Court Judge Lauren King, a Biden appointee, granted the plaintiffs a preliminary injunction on most of the lawsuit after a temporary restraining order expired.

King ruled that the order declaring two genders "denies the very existence of transgender people and instead seeks to erase them from the federal vocabulary altogether and eliminate medical care for gender dysphoria at federally funded medical institutions."

"Such '[a] bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group cannot constitute a legitimate governmental interest,'” she wrote.

I'm amazed that God is still wonderfully blessing this state. The only reason that comes to mind is the fertile mission field that's being harvested and the huge growth in the underground church here (it isn't safe to be a Christian here, depending on someone's family, due to religion and/or culture). It's even becoming unsafe for people born here to go to church/have or read the Bible/etc. if their family is sufficiently woke/PC/pro-LGBTQABCXYZ, and/or converts to islam, satanism, and maybe some other things.

So harm is stopping unnecessary surgery, and hormones that will cause cancer and shorten the lifespan of the child who by definition is too young to vote?

But doing all that to a child not yet able to vote because their brain isn't developed well enough to choose a political party is not harmful at all.

Something is broken in that judges brain.
