Justice Thomas calls transgender language a lie in concurring opinionThe Hill
Men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or girls, even if they believe that they are. Sex is an immutable biological characteristic, see ante, at 10; it is binary; and man and woman, boy and girl, are the terms that correspond to adults and children of each sex, Thomas wrote.
To use language to obscure reality to show indifference regarding the truth is to lie to the public and cease to treat our fellow citizens as equal[s], he continued.

Thomas said gender dysphoria does not resemble the immutable characteristics on the basis of which our precedents have applied heightened scrutiny- race, sex, or national origin.

Regarding transgender folks, science does not support his outdated rigid binary contention. I always ask such narrow-minded jerks, do you know why men have nipples? SURPRISE! It's because ALL human fetuses are FEMALE at conception. The Y chromosome doesn't manifest itself until later in the gestation period, and that change, like every other change a fetus undergoes, can happen on an infinitely variable timeline. This not only affects the body, it affects the brain as well. And pay attention, Clarence the brain is where an individual's sense of self develops. Bottom line: People are born gay and/or trans, every day. As an esteemed jurist, it is your responsibility to stay up to date regarding matters on which you will later pass judgement. And your judgement ain't nothin' to brag about these days, now is it.
