Mitchell filed a brief in the Supreme Court of the United States in United States v. Skrmetti et al. supporting the State of Tennessee’s fight against the “gender transition” industry’s inhumane medical experiments on minors. On March 2, 2023, Tennessee passed a bipartisan child-protection law prohibiting experimental sex-transition drug and surgical interventions that can lead to minors becoming irreversibly sterile, having increased risk of disease and illness, or suffering from adverse and sometimes fatal psychological consequences. The law’s enforcement was temporarily enjoined by a federal district court. However, the State appealed. On July 5, 2023, AFL filed a brief supporting Tennessee’s child protection law. On September 28, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit vacated the injunction and allowed Tennessee to fully enforce its law. The Biden–Harris Administration petitioned for Supreme Court review, and the Court agreed to hear the case. In its brief, AFL argues that the district court erred in granting a preliminary injunction for two primary reasons. First, the plaintiffs failed to establish standing because they could not show that a preliminary injunction against state officials would cause medical providers to resume their horrific life-altering “gender transition” experiments and procedures in the face of the statutes’ broad private civil-liability provisions. Second, there is no basis for statewide relief that extends beyond the named parties. The law requires injunctions to be narrowly tailored, and the district court erred by extending relief beyond the named plaintiffs in this lawsuit. AFL is proud to continue fighting to protect children from the “gender transition” industry’s dangerous experimental medical procedures. Statement from Gene Hamilton, America First Legal Executive Director: “The State of Tennessee took bold and common sense action to protect children within Tennessee from the horrors associated with so-called ‘gender transitions.’ Yet, as with most common sense measures, left-wing activists sprung into action to try to stop Tennessee from protecting children. The simple fact of the matter is that the horrific, life-altering procedures being pushed on children by a radical few–all to advance an ideological agenda and so that unscrupulous doctors and others in the medical industry can make more money–should not be occurring anywhere in the United States of America. We are proud to stand alongside the State of Tennessee in this important case,” said Gene Hamilton. https://aflegal.org/america-first-legal-files-brief-in-the-supreme-court-of-the-united-states-to-protect-children-from-experimental-chemical-castration-and-genital-mutilation/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=ncl_amplify&utm_campaign=241015-afl_email_239_tn_transition_101524_full_file&utm_content=ncl-vSw6f6vvuZ&_nlid=vSw6f6vvuZ&_nhids=nc8yNU4Kt1Wvzls
