Normally, the Supreme Court hears cases involving questions of law.
But on Tuesday, January 13, the judges will also deal with fundamental science. Not only that, they will debate the basic truth, as I can personally testify.
The stakes could not be higher in the case of West Virginia v. BPJ. The specific question facing the court is simple: Should transgender boys be allowed to compete on girls’ sports teams? But you can’t really answer this question without asking a more important question: Can a young boy or girl actually change gender?
I’ve been asking this question myself since I was 12. I gave the wrong answer.
TRANS ATHLETE IN CENTER OF HIGH CASE ACCUSED OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT TACTICS AGAINST GIRLS
I was a classic tomboy – a girl who didn’t act or dress like other girls did. I never felt like I belonged. But instead of realizing that I was in a normal stage of life, I got sucked into the world of social media and video games. There I met people who told me I wasn’t actually a girl. They told me I was a boy. That I needed to change my body to reflect who I “really was inside.”
I believed them. I went to doctors who gave me puberty blockers, which blocked my normal development. Shortly afterwards they started me on sex hormones to make me look more like a boy. Then, at age 15, the doctors gave me a double mastectomy. I thought without a girly chest I would finally be happy. Why would I, as a boy, want to keep my breasts?
When I was 16, I realized how wrong I was. But I couldn’t go back. The puberty blockers and hormones changed my body, to the point that I no longer recognized myself in the mirror. And the breast surgery – how do you undo that? I’m in my early twenties now and to this day I have bandages where my breasts used to be.
I now know the truth: I am a girl. I always have been. I always will be. I cannot change that – because it is scientifically and biologically impossible. No matter how many medications or surgeries they receive, children who think they are transgender are actually not. They’re just confused. And in their confusion, doctors and activists are pushing them down a path of even more confusion. It is also a path of unspeakable sadness, worse than anything I ever experienced when I was twelve and felt like I didn’t belong.

These deeply disturbed children are at the center of the case before the Supreme Court. We’re talking about boys competing against girls, which is deeply and patently unfair. Even a boy taking puberty blockers and hormones will have an advantage over girls. It’s basic science, written into their biology. No amount of medical treatment can change who they are. Gender reassignment treatments merely obscure the truth under a veneer of self-deception and socially acceptable lies.
The judges have to see through all this. No doubt the lawyers on the transgender side will try to mislead them with arguments about equal treatment and human rights. But this isn’t about rights – it’s about the deep and profound evil that is child transgenderism.

The only rights being violated are the rights of girls to compete fairly, without being forced to compete against boys. And states have the right – and obligation – to protect girls. Furthermore, states have a duty to protect all children from transgender treatment of any kind. The Supreme Court has already given states the green light to protect children from radical activism masquerading as medicine. Now the judges must extend this logic by protecting girls’ sports.
Because in the end it is not just about the law. It’s about science and truth. And that’s why the Supreme Court must reject the transgender lie.
