I am disgusted and disheartened. How long must we continue to watch this regime in our own country disrespecting human beings? This is one of the most anti-Jewish rulings (of many!) that we have seen from this court. Is G!d hardening their hearts for a reason? I will ALWAYS be an ally that walks the talk to protect all created b'tzelem Elohim. Rabbi-Cantor Robbi Sherwin, Austin, Texas and Parker, Colorado

Even if I didn't know trans kids (which I do), the soulless, cruel, and ignorant ruling shows us again how far this administration's sense of humanity has fallen. There is no excuse for harming kids and young adults this way. Rabbi Anita Silvert, Northbrook IL

It hurts my soul to think of these kids who know their bodies are going wrong and who know that the problem can be fixed, but are told that the law won't let their doctors help them.

As a trans woman who went through the trauma of experiencing the wrong puberty, this ruling hurts bad. To deny children the joy of seeing their bodies grow in the way that affirms their existence and to force them to have to dissociate from their bodies instead is cruel beyond words.

Thank you. Love you. I’m thinking of you and all my trans friends.

Today in the Times is an article about an Army Major who transitioned during active duty. She is now contemplating her upcoming separation with it’s attendant financial implications and she is watching her world dissolve because of the cruelty of Donald Trump and his minions. She is a graduate of West Point, from an Army family, served in Afghanistan and the Army was her home. There may be many more of these stories but I never thought we would be hearing them in 2025.
