I know some of the people involved - former coworkers, conference friends -- and the thing is, those lawsuits will take a long time. The SC has already shown it is unwilling to prioritize science, or even that convenient-when-they-feel-like-it "parents rights" excuse. Hospitals, with few exceptions, are closing down not only minor care, but in some places, adult trans care too.

Everybody knows where this is going. Hospitals and doctors can't wait out until they win a suit - and then they'll have to get moneys released, usually needing to sue, again.

This is the same tactic that the trumpists use elsewhere: if they can apply quasi-legal power, they do, and if not, they cut off money and drag things out in the courts.

In rare situations, legal victories happen, for instance a case against a medical provider being dismissed because the health care org was a federally qualified health care ctr, so the med pro was a federal employee and thus couldn't be sued by the plaintiff. We'll see what happens next, frankly -- as the organization sees no minors, there might be a grace period, at least until Trump (and the American Principles Project, et al) figure out how to end trans medical care altogether.
