Conservative legal minds will argue that the laundry list of topics covered under 102.A includes a duty to censor, e.g., “information on transitioning”. They already believe any and all forms of transition (including calling a child by a nickname, see Florida state law) constitute child abuse. They have already fabricated “evidence-informed information” showing that all forms of transition are harmful, and they’ll argue that only these sources qualify for the 102.B.2 exemption.
Once Chevron deference is dead, all it will take is an act of Congress to enshrine this specific interpretation of the law. Handing FTC the authority to enforce is a fig leaf designed to fool the center-right.

- birdofhermes 3y agoI assumed they were talking about genital reassignment surgery for infants born with ambiguous genitals.
- rustcleaner 3y agoIt's the largest scale easy to solve massive human rights violation in The Western World(tm)! Frankly I am deeply saddened it isn't in every thread on every discussion forum. Eric Clopper gave his Harvard presentation OVER FIVE YEARS AGO!!! I mean a whole body part (15 in^2) just censored from medical literature and the public's mind for a century or more... how crazy is that?!
- birdofhermes 3y ago> A child cannot goddamn consent. And yet, somehow, children across the United States get the exact same gender-affirming treatments (including but not limited to hormone therapy, cosmetic surgery, and yes, even genital mutilation) without complaint only if the gender being affirmed happens to match some evaluation of their biological sex. Anyway, setting that glaring contradiction aside, your argument fails in the context of social transition (e.g., being called a nickname), which is the much more common form of adolescent transition and still somehow elicits the same overreaction you have demonstrated.
- freejazz 3y agoSurely you must be more outraged by male circumcision which occurs more frequently by orders of magnitude?
