I'm sure it's fake on principal. First of all, the subheading:

Washington State, like more than 20 other states, bars licensed therapists from trying to change the sexual orientation or gender identity of minors in their care.

NYT shouldn't be publishing such misleading headlines but @Wahots@pawb.social why are you repeating their misinformation?

I am less than 50 words in. Still time to be proven wrong.

The Supreme Court said on Monday that it would not hear

first half of the first sentence of the first paragraph and already we have dumb bullshit. This is what happens to 99% of everything submitted to the US spreme court. Rejected.

But thing special. Means NOTHING

“This case is not the first instance of the Ninth Circuit restricting medical professionals’ First Amendment rights, and, without the court’s review, I doubt it will be the last,” he wrote. “This court recently reversed the Ninth Circuit’s decision to uphold a law compelling crisis pregnancy centers to disseminate government-drafted notices.”

Uh "crisis pregnancy centres" in the US context are usually sham medicine covertly religious anti-choice situations pretending to be a low rent planned parenthood. Doesn't anyone know what is being referred to here? I am guessing the "government drafted notice" may not be so heinous but idk.
