Modern photo of Ruby Bridges smiling, speaking at a wooden podium with text on the graphic as her quote reading ""Don't Follow the path. Go where there is no path and begin the trail. When you start a new trail equipped with courage, strength, and conviction, the only thing that can stop you is you!” The quote is attributed to Ruby Bridges, civil rights activist for Women's History Month.

In 1960, 6-year-old Ruby Bridges was the first Black child to attend a formerly whites-only school in Louisiana, marking a major moment in the fight to desegregate schools. She remains a committed advocate for civil rights to this day.

In the first line of his opinion for the Court in United States v. Skrmetti, Chief Justice Roberts writes that the issue in the case is β€œwhether a Tennessee law banning certain medical care for transgender minors violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.” That opening acknowledgment that the Tennessee law singles out transgender minors makes perfect sense given that the law only prohibits medical care when it has the purpose of β€œ[e]nabling a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor’s sex.” In other words, as Justice Sotomayor puts it in her dissent, the law targets the very β€œdefinition” of being transgender. Yet,
notwithstanding the Chief Justice’s seeming acknowledgment of this obvious point at the outset of his majority opinion in Skrmetti, he ends up concluding in a brief section towards the end of his opinion that the law β€œdoes not classify on the basis of transgender status.”

The whiplash-inducing progression of the majority opinion in Skrmetti is reflective of a larger trend of credulity-straining decisions in constitutional cases dealing with the interests of LGBTQ people. In a trilogy of recent casesβ€”303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, Mahmoud v. Taylor, and Skrmettiβ€”the Court has issued opinions that are difficult to imagine being written in similar ways had the interests of LGBTQ people been replaced by those of other minority groups.
