To the editor: The U.S. Supreme Court docket seems poised to relax the difficulty of medical take care of transgender minors to the states.
Why? Justices say they aren’t medical specialists, they usually really feel that they can not make a correct resolution on the difficulty. So it’ll go to non-medical legislators to resolve what to do.
As with the abortion concern, these non-physician politicians could have a one-size-fits-all answer to this concern that won’t work for individuals in danger. Once more, politicians are coming between medical doctors and sufferers and their dad and mom.
I assumed the Republicans have been for much less authorities in our lives. I suppose I used to be flawed.

To the editor: The description of the uproar over transgender athletes within the Riverside Unified Faculty District introduced again vivid reminiscences of the early Sixties after I was in highschool. Solely then, the horrible individuals believed to be displacing deserving athletes have been Black college students.
The anger towards “Negroes” (the time period utilized in these days) who have been taking coveted locations on groups, in lecture rooms and jobs from deserving white individuals appears to be revived within the depth of the response to at least one trans particular person getting a spot on a cross-country staff. The article doesn’t say, however I feel cross-country groups have a number of members.
As within the days of the civil rights motion, even members of Congress are stoking the concern and hate.
