The Supreme Court issued a ruling on Monday allowing an Idaho law, which protects children from life-altering transgender procedures, to go into effect while lower courts challenge it.
Legacy media outlets, however, want Americans to view the ruling as extreme, even though published data suggests otherwise.
The Daily Wire reports that last year’s enacted law prohibits certain procedures, such as double mastectomies on girls identifying as boys, as well as the administration of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children.
These treatments have been associated with bone development complications and heart issues. The law also specifies that doctors performing such procedures on minors could face up to 10 years in prison.
Justices Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett all sided with Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador’s appeal to overturn a broad injunction imposed on the law by a federal judge.
Specific language used by mainstream media outlets have sparked criticism following the news. For example, the use of the phrases “gender-mutilation care” and “transgender minors” by NBC News in their synopsis of the story was blasted by Not The Bee’s Joel Abbott.
Other outlets like Axios and CBS mirrored this same language in their reporting.
“It can’t be stated enough how frustrating the current Court is to the woke zeitgeist that truly believes that gender mutilation is ‘care,’ that killing babies is a ‘right,’ and that racism against whites is okay,” Abbott lamented.
Abbott blasted out the careful language used by these outlets, dubbing them “philosophical terms” that are used to “tell you what side the media is on.”
“They frame it as a ban on ‘care’ for kids on purpose to steer emotions in a certain way,” he continued.
Abbott later provided a slew of examples that showcase the wide array of damage transgender procedures pose, especially on children.
A 2023 paper, for instance, authored by an international consortium of more than 100 clinicians and researchers asserted that the concept of “gender identity” lacks scientific evidence. Instead, it is a philosophical or religious belief that has been superimposed onto science and medicine, the authors argue.
Another example Abbott provided was a study conducted in the Netherlands that revealed the overwhelming majority of children with gender dysphoria outgrow it during their teenage years.
He also highlighted that other conservative states in the US, like Tennessee, are enacting similar bans based on their own research findings and moral convictions regarding the issue.
X user Libs of TikTok has been an outspoken critic of the mainstream media’s framing of transgender procedures, specifically in regards to their use of “gender-mutilation care.”
The account weighed in on Supreme Court’ ruling on the Idaho law Monday, blasting the phrase as the “biggest medical scandal in modern history.”
“When they say ‘gender affirming care’ this is what they mean. The sterilization, m*tilation, and castration of minors,” she said, accompanied with a photo of what Billboard Chris explained to be “a radial forearm free flap.”
