“There is no service that is covered for a cisgendered person that is not covered for a transgender person meeting the same criteria,” Caleb David, an attorney for West Virginia, told judges on the appellate court during the oral argument.
Big ‘gay people have the same right to marry someone of the opposite sex that everyone else does’ energy right there.
I had to read that three times to figure out what the attorney was saying.
It’s the second ruling in favor of trans rights this month from the 4th Circuit, a once-conservative court that has become a trailblazer in the realm of transgender rights.

Of course. This Supreme Court’s really gonna do a number on the justice system for decades to come huh?
It’s gonna keep happening until the number of justices changes one way or the other
