The Losing Side Argued BPJ a Special Boy/Girl Because He Says So and He Should Participate In Girls' Sports Because He Wants To. They Didn't Defend Hecox At All
Yep. I read all the briefs in Skrmetti and came to a similar conclusion. The overwhelming weight of the evidence, the most compelling arguments, are all on the gender critical side. Sotomayor in particular debased and embarrassed herself in both cases.
None of this requires the wisdom of Solomon to adjudicate , and it should be embarrassing that this even needed to be heard by the Supreme Court or any court for that matter. This takes on Swiftian Big-Endians , Little-Endians status.
,That a Supreme Court Justice even used the term "cis-female" is an indication of how deep this capture has gone , and how difficult it will be to root out.
The notion that transqueer cultists put any weight at all on the methods of science is, I believe, false. And therefore dangerous.
The transqueer cultists' belief that "trans women ARE women" is the same as a Catholic's belief that "consecrated communion wafers ARE the body of Christ". It is a religious belief that is not subject to refutation by any sort of scientific evaluation. IIRC, the biologist PZ Myers once did a chemical analysis of a consecrated communion wafer, and (of course) found that it was indistinguishable from an unconsecrated communion wafer. All he got for his trouble was a bunch of pissed-off Catholics yelling at him. None of them changed their religious beliefs.
Conclusion: science and logic and reason are rarely effective against religious beliefs.
The only thing that works is keeping political power out of the hands of religious cultists. We saw that clearly in the SCOTUS decision, where Justices appointed by Presidents from the Sex Realist Party voted unanimously in favor of women's rights, while Justices appointed by Presidents from the Tranqueer Cult Party voted unanimously in favor of men's privileges (never "rights", never ever "rights"!).
I think the lesson for women's rights activists is very clear, though it seems that few of us are willing to face up to it and start taking the necessary actions.
(Action number one would be to work to keep Susan Collins in office in Maine, rather than allow her to replaced by a male transqueer cultist with a Nazi tattoo. Somehow a lot of TERFs seem neutral on this, which boggles my mind.)
Embarrassing that the cases had to go all the way up to the Supreme Court for a reality-based verdict. But very glad they did agree to hear the cases.

Wow. Yes. All of it.
