Update: The Briefing Schedule, In The Sixth Circuit, For That Crazy “Law” Against Trans Care In Tennessee… Is Filed.

We told you we’d keep a close tab on this one, on principle. And we will.

We can also report that the Sixth has put it on… a very short fuse. The patients’ / plaintiffs’ / Vandy brief is due a week from tomorrow. Here’s that Friday night scheduling order:

…BRIEFING LETTER SENT setting briefing schedule pursuant to the court’s 07/08/2023 order: appellant brief and amici briefs supporting the appellants due 07/24/2023; appellee brief and amici briefs supporting the appellees due 08/10/2023; reply briefs due 08/17/2023….

Now you know. And if you are living in a county that allows you register to vote in Tennessee, be sure to do so.

And be sure to write and call your legislators about what a deeply hateful, and unconstitutional “law” this March 2023 Tenn. Code Ann. § 68-33-101, et seq., is.

The idea that the local legislators (some with only high school educations) know more about the medical condition — and proper treatments around the exceedingly rare condition known as gender dysphoria… than the doctors at Vanderbilt Medical Center in downtown Nashville… is preposterous on its face (aside from the invasions § 68-33-101(b) lawlessly contemplates). Onward.
