Note - these are remarks from Justice Thomas remarks, not from me. (I am amazed that this was necessary.)

The headline: "'Vile man': Justice Clarence Thomas bashed for 'ugliest' remarks in major new ruling"

Yet the OP did not include the remarks by Thomas. I added them - "the actual remarks" - to save people from needing to go to Rawstory.

“Because ‘gender dysphoria’ is a mutable mental state that is the object of psychiatric treatment, it does not resemble the immutable characteristics on the basis of which our precedents have applied heightened scrutiny— race, sex, or national origin. Second, as the Court recognizes, this case concerns ‘biological men’ and ‘boys who identify as girls.’ Men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or girls, even if they believe that they are."
