Transgender Ruling Logical Says Sex Discrimination Expert

WASHINGTON - June 18, 2025 - PRLog -- Today's Supreme Court ruling - that persons suffering from gender dysphoria are not entitled to the special treatment accorded under the heightened scrutiny standard of review - is only logical since courts have never applied such special treatment to other forms of bodily dysphoria, and any attempt to do so could - and in fact has - led to absurd results, argues an expert in sex discrimination.

There are many different recognized forms of dysphoria related to bodily perceptions - including not just Transgenderism, but also Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), Muscle Dysmorphia, Anorexia Nervosa, Xenomelia (foreign limb syndrome), etc. - but such people can and are routinely treated differently without violating the Constitution because their dysphoria supposedly triggers a heightened scrutiny standard, notes public interest law professor John Banzhaf, who has won over 100 cases involving sex discrimination against both males and females.

Surgeons employed by the government may of course agree to amputate a limb when injury or disease medically requires it, but refuse to amputate a limb when requested by a patient with foreign limb syndrome, says Banzhaf, since a judicial ruling to the contrary would be nonsensical.  Thus laws imposing such a different requirement - as the Tennessee law did - would obviously not be unconstitutional.

Similarly, treating a patient with severe malnutrition because they were lost in the woods for weeks differently from a patient who has anorexis nervosa is standard and accepted medical practice, and state statutes which recognized this would surely pass constitutional muster, the law professor maintains.

Moreover, refusing to recognize that males (persons with a penis and XY chromosomes) are medically different from females (persons born with a vagina and XX chromosomes) can and already has led to absurd results as Professor Banzhaf reported back in 2018 [SEE THE FOLLOWING] . . .
