The Issue: The Supreme Court upholding Tennessee’s ban on gender transition surgery for minors.
On the day of the Supreme Court’s decision upholding the Tennessee ban on transitions for minors, the mainstream media (especially PBS) was quick to cry out what a “setback” this ruling was for “trans” rights (“Trans sense,” June 19).
The agonies brought on by impulsive decisions made by addled youngsters were not discussed.
This ruling is a victory, not a “setback,” for biological common sense.
Twenty seven states now have similar bans as Tennessee. One might ask why the remaining 23 states are so far behind the curve toward sanity?

The only disappointing thing about the SCOTUS gender decision is that it wasn’t unanimous. It means that six Justices have common sense, and three don’t.
Nevertheless, a generation of young boys and girls have been saved from the “gender-affirming” cultists.
By the way, when did the far left change its mind on childhood genital mutilation? It seems like only yesterday the left was firmly against the practice for young girls in certain African countries.

Since minors are considered to be too young to vote or serve in the military, then they are also too young to make these kinds of life-changing decisions.
By the time they become adults, they may have changed their minds about all of these choices.

Thanks to the Supreme Court for ruling against this idiotic ideology of “gender affirmation.”
It reaffirms what scripture tells us: Namely that the creator made two sexes, male and female, and no one should desecrate this.

The high court ruling to allow banning transgender care for minors is simply common sense.
Sometimes kids go through phases. And life-changing decisions for minors could lead to regret and emotional and psychological struggles in later years.
My only hope is that other states will join the ban. Kids just need to be kids. They should not be allowed to make adult decisions.
The legal age to drink is 21. The age to vote is 18 and to drive is 16. Waiting until the age of 18 for trans treatment is not asking too much. In fact, it’s smart.

The Issue: City Hall’s plan to spend $929.1 million to house the homeless and migrants in hotels.
Mayor Adams needs to go (“A Fetid $1B Hotel Deal,” Editorial, June 20).
He cannot justify spending nearly $1 billion for this cause. How many of the 86,000 who need housing are actually homeless citizens, the ones he should have been taking care of from Day 1?
That money could have been divided for other vital services that need to be addressed, such as cleaner streets, an overhaul of the Administration for Children’s Services, more cops — because we really don’t need more commuters to be stabbed during a Grand Central morning rush hour — or a number of other issues needing urgent attention and upgrades.

I really think that New York taxpayers and citizens have had enough of Eric Adams’ nonsense. Along with the corruption allegations, he has continued to destroy New Yorkers’ quality of life.
Now he’s planning to spend nearly $1 billion in taxpayer money on shelters for immigrants and homeless.
When is this gonna stop? Enough already, Adams.
