FULL STATEMENT OF EUGENE DELGAUDIO, PRESIDENT PUBLIC ADVOCATE
PERMISSION GRANTED IN ADVANCE TO QUOTE OR USE FOR PUBLISHING.
"You
were
at
the
Supreme
Court
yesterday.
Not
just
there,
you
were
actually
in
the
room,
arguing
one
of
the
most
important
cases
since
the
repeal
of
Roe
v
Wade.
Even
if
you
didn't
realize
it,
you
were
there
--
fighting
against
Joe
Biden's
attorneys.
You
were
there
because
Public
Advocate
was
there.
Not
only
was
I
personally
on
the
steps
of
the
Supreme
Court
protesting
against
the
"transgender"
agenda
for
children,
but
Public
Advocate
was
in
the
court
room.
You
see
-
because
of
your
steadfast
support
-
Public
Advocate
was
able
to
file
an
expert
Amicus
Brief
in
this
case.
Because
of
your
courageous
support,
the
state
of
Tennessee
passed
the
law
in
the
first
place
that
Joe
Biden
is
currently
trying
to
strike
down.
When
you
stand
with
Public
Advocate,
you
help
set
mighty
things
in
motion.
So
yes,
you
were
there.
But
let
me
back
up
and
tell
you
the
whole
story.
With
Biden
sworn
into
the
White
House
in
2020,
Public
Advocate
was
forced
to
refocus
our
efforts.
We
launched
a
State
Level
Campaign
asking
the
state
legislatures
to
tackle
three
specific
threats
to
children
from
the
Homosexual
Lobby.
Chief
among
these
requests,
was
the
banning
of
"transgender"
surgeries
for
children.
These
medical
procedures
are
abusive
and
should
be
criminalized.
One
of
the
two
dozen
states
that
ultimately
took
up
this
agenda
from
Public
Advocate
was
Tennessee,
which
passed
SB1
to
outlaw
these
medical
abuses
of
children.
Tennessee
has
been
highly
responsive
to
Public
Advocate's
national
efforts
ever
since
we
took
up
their
Classroom
Protection
Act
in
2012.
In
the
words
of
our
Vice
President
Mark
Clayton
-
who
lives
in
Nashville,
we
took
over
that
state.
But
Joe
Biden's
Justice
Department
struck
back
and
challenged
this
law
in
court.
I
have
warned
before
that
Joe
Biden
was
on
the
warpath
against
Public
Advocate
and
our
many
state-level
victories.
And
as
I
promised,
Public
Advocate
stepped
up
yet
again
and
filed
an
expert
Amicus
Brief
to
defend
the
new
law.
Yesterday
the
U.S.
Supreme
Court
heard
this
case.
Initial
reactions
from
the
court
were
very
supportive
to
our
brief,
and
are
leaning
towards
allowing
states
to
outlaw
the
practice.
Many
justices
-
including
Kavanaugh,
for
whom
we
played
a
critical
role
in
his
confirmation
-
pointed
out
that
the
"scientific
consensus"
on
trans
surgeries
in
rapidly
fracturing.
Many
radical
European
countries
have
already
reversed
course
on
this
issue,
realizing
just
how
much
harm
this
causes
to
children.
And
the
America
Society
of
Plastic
Surgeons
has
denounced
"trans
surgeries
for
children"
as
malpractice.
Like
with
many
things,
children
are
simply
too
young
to
be
consenting
to
the
lifelong
consequences
of
"gender
affirming"
treatments.
Winning
this
case
will
be
critical
to
laying
the
groundwork
for
President
Trump's
complete
banning
of
the
practice
nationwide
once
he
takes
office,"
Delgaudio
said.
