"the Biden administration is fighting for the right of children to medically transition their gender."
Gender cannot be medically transitioned. While it is possible to undergo surgeries that alter the appearance of body parts, remove certain functioning body parts, or create non-functioning body parts, such procedures only change physical appearance and do not alter one's inherent gender.
Gender dysphoria refers to the feelings of distress or discomfort experienced by individuals whose gender identity does not align with the sex they were assigned at birth (Mayo Clinic). It is classified as a mental health disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). Key words here are "feelings" and "mental health disorder."
The ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for gender dysphoria is F64.0, and it can be applied to cases of gender identity disorder in both adolescents and adults.
Dear Mr. Trump (I suspect members of the staff read TFP daily)...I strongly suggest that find a role for Ayann Hirsi Ali in your administration...i present the attached article as an example of why this is so important now...g.
When the argument was made that these radical surgeries and hormonal treatments had unanticipated consequences, we get a brilliant response from Justice Sotomayor who counters that all medical treatment can have unintended consequences; taking an aspirin can have side-effects for example. The supercilious disdain in her voice only slightly less disgusting than the sheer idiocy of her argument.
Musk is a creep and is engages in massive self-dealing at Tesla. The board includes his brother and various flunkies. The judge was correct. And both the sales of EVs and his SpaceX have received billions in tax subsidies and straight up cash.

Except on the other hand, we treat people as infants until like 27 or so or older even. Need health insurance as an adult? Stay on M & Ds. Live in M & Ds basement. Go to the bank of M& D.
Need mom to help you in college? Will do. Heck even Hunter Biden at 50 something is treated like an infant by Joey and not a doctor Jill.
Madeleine, in your somewhat snarky report on Elon Musk and the Delaware Chancery court, you omit to mention that the pay-package in question was approved, TWICE, by over 70% of Tesla shareholders. The second time the proposal was even accompanied by judge McCormick's original ruling. Musk's response is, if anything, too generous.
Tinley Park -- colonized from the Potawatomi. And yet none of the attendees at the AMP fest seemed remotely willing to leave their homes and let the original owners move back in. What's up with that?
I pray that someday there will be a Reckoning for all of the evils perpetrated by the consumate evil that is the Biden administration.
If you remember “Julia the Intern”, here is an article where the Stanford Review interviews the new president of Stanford. Go Julia!

Trump needs to kill this case on Day One. Then we can look into firing the people at DOJ who were responsible for pursuing it.

Are we sure the author listed is correct today? I'm not sure.
Just want to say that Chronister didn't make that decision. Trump did. Don't believe everything you read.

Democracy is the most misused word in the supposed "free countries". It is a hammer used when convenient.
When the argument was made that these radical surgeries and hormonal treatments had unanticipated consequences, we get a brilliant response from Justice Sotomayor who counters that all medical treatment can have unintended consequences; taking an aspirin can have side-effects for example. The supercilious disdain in her voice only slightly less disgusting than the sheer idiocy of her argument.
"If convicted, Haim could face up to 10 years in prison." Yet off skips Hunter Biden without a care in the world!
Haim screwed up. He should have been born Biden ...
To live in luxury the rest of his life without lifting a finger.
Not Madeline’s best column. Snarky on Musk.
Nasty on the self-reflection which comes across as PROJECTION.
For heavens sake FP and MSM are not conspicuous for self-reflection.
Biden and Harris/Walz showed no self-reflection.
Interesting to have a column by Tina Brown — FP is increasing its clout/draw.
Musk is a creep and is engages in massive self-dealing at Tesla. The board includes his brother and various flunkies. The judge was correct. And both the sales of EVs and his SpaceX have received billions in tax subsidies and straight up cash.
So, if you are so aggreived, sell your Tesla stock. 72% of shareholders (owners of Tesla) voted for his pay package.

Please correct the wording from "Tinley Park, Chicago," to "Tinley Park, a suburb of Chicago." Tinley is not remotely part of the city.
Tinley Park -- colonized from the Potawatomi. And yet none of the attendees at the AMP fest seemed remotely willing to leave their homes and let the original owners move back in. What's up with that?
It is a sobering case, that. The Palestinians should totally give that land back to the Potawatomi, who as I understand it were pretty swell people.
At least visit their casino in Milwaukee, and drop a few "reparations bucks" in the slots. Rooms look nice ...
