Professor Jason Pierceson's recent article, “After Bostock: conservative judges, LGBTQ rights, and the conservative movement”, examines how the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, which overturned abortion rights, has been weaponized by conservative judges to undermine transgender rights litigation, mirroring broader conservative political attacks. In contrast, Democratic-appointed judges continue to rely on the 2020 Bostock decision and a civil rights framework to protect transgender plaintiffs. Dr. Pierceson’s article highlights this emerging judicial divide, links conservative judges to the wider anti-transgender movement, and urges scholars of the conservate legal and political movement to prioritize LGBTQ policy to better understand the evolving influence of the conservative legal movement and its influence on conservative judges.
