The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments this year on the constitutionality of a Tennessee law banning certain medical treatments for transgender minors.

Nearly half of U.S. states have enacted bans on transgender care for minors, including Kentucky.

This week, the Family Foundation of Kentucky, along with other family policy organizations, filed a brief asking the Supreme Court to rule in favor of the Tennessee law.

We believe that the Supreme Court has a duty to uphold this law and that health care providers should not be able to perpetrate these acts, these surgeries, and give these sorts of life altering medications to children.

Supporters of this treatment call it gender affirming care.

I would say it is gender destroying care.

Gender is something that is encoded in us biologically.

We have it as a very nature of our being.

And any type of medical procedure which purports to be able to change what is a immutable biological reality is not affirming.

It is destroying a person's gender.

We understand that there are many kids who are affected by this, and we have a heart for those children.

But we also understand that many of these children grow out of body dysmorphia as they progress through adolescence.

And so we want to protect them so that they don't take this life altering course of treatment before they have the opportunity to actually mature out of this phase that they're in.

If the Supreme Court decides against our side, against objective reality, which and I don't think that they will, but supposing that they do.

The Family Foundation is committed to continue protecting children from these medical procedures, whether that be through additional means of legislation or anything really, that is available to us.

This is a fight that we're not going to stop fighting.

We're not going to back down.
