Umm... This is kind of a big deal.

If this ruling stands, it'd mean that basically every health insurance plans in America (because of the health insurance marketplace) would be required to cover everything WPATH SoC8 deems medically necessary.

Which is... *everything*.

Holy crap.

@chairgirlhands @CathieEnglish Roberts, who is terminally obsessed with the court's appearance of legitimacy, and Gorsuch, who *wrote* the Bostock decision, would have to reverse course form Bostock, which they ruled on only four years ago.

Given those two... I don't see it. This is easy pinkwashing for Roberts and Gorsuch has a weird, twisted sense of honor, it seems.
