And it was kind of exciting because I thought, oh, this guy's going to go on and be a real actor.
And, you know, we did the scene, and it was some play that didn't have a whole lot of action, like waiting for Godot or something, where you're just sitting on the stage.
But at the end, the professor said, oh, Ketanji, you were so good. Matt, we'll talk. No. Yes. Yes. And I was like, oh my goodness! I was so excited. Oh my God, that is just terrible.
You ready to do this? I'm ready.
Probably. Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, my goodness. Well, I'm going to eliminate C, I think.
Um... I'm going to say Fox in the Snowy Winter.
No, I'm not going to say that. I'm going to say Popcorn. Popcorn. You are.
All right. I'm going to say chilly.
Diana Ross at Marshalls? I'm going with the fanny pack.
I guess I think there might be some confusion a little bit. At least I'm confused because there's so many lines that this statute could draw the classification.
And the question for equal protection purposes is, if you are right that there is a sex baseline being drawn, then... to the extent the plaintiffs are implicated by that line, don't we have to apply heightened scrutiny in evaluating their claims?
Mr. Rice?
The law imposes an across-the-board rule that allows the use of drugs and surgeries for some medical purposes, but not for others. Its application turns entirely on medical purpose, not a patient's sex. That is not sex discrimination.
The Equal Protection Clause does not require the states to blind themselves to medical reality or to treat unlike things the same.
So it becomes a pure exercise of weighing benefits versus risk.
We do not agree that the medical condition is the same.
Now, looking at this statute, a girl comes in biologically and asks for a hormone to deepen her voice in order to affirm the identity that she chooses, which is masculinity.
She wants to, I'm sorry, one more time, Your Honor.
She wants to get the medication in order to deepen her voice and affirm her masculinity.
