Hard to decide whether the failure of SCOTUS to intervene in overturning the appeal courts injunction which prefrnts West Virginia from barring trans students from athletics is a true win.
The instant case issue here was that Weat Virginia could not name any specific trans atheletes that were at risk of causing issues in the state. Thus the case could return once we see an biological man cracking skulls in female wrestling.
Lets be clear, based on precedent and this current courts voting history, I suspect they may bend the knee on issues of sexual orientation and gender identity.
My longer term question is this though:
Is SCOTUS truly going full accelerationist or are they just apathic on orientation and gender identity issues?
Accelerationism, or the thought that we need to make things worse in order for them to fail and reset (to an ideal state) - always seems more of an academic or meme argument. While I know a select frw are truly committed to the concept, most talk big online but back down when it hits their friends or family. It's also hard for me to believe that the boomer boy & girl scouts on SCOTUS are "doing it for the lulz" - that would not be their sense of humor.
I'd love to hear y'all thoughts.
