Tiffany Justice Says Parents and Science Are Winning Trans Debate
Tiffany Justice has been fighting for years to keep biology and gender in tandem, rejecting progressive arguments that sex is merely a social construct and that there are dozens of genders.
And after listening to the U.S. Supreme Court hearing on a parental rights case on Tuesday, she told NHJournal that she believes her side is winning.
“The tide is turning on this issue. And the science, obviously, is with us,” Justice told the NHJournal podcast.
Justice co-founded the parents-rights group, Moms for Liberty, and she’s currently a Heritage Foundation Visiting Fellow on Parental Rights.
The case before the Supreme Court, Mahmoud v. Taylor, centers on a dispute between a group of parents in Montgomery County, Md., and the local school district. The parents, representing Muslim, Christian and Jewish faiths, argue that the school district’s policy of including LGBTQ-themed content in the early elementary school curriculum without allowing parents to opt their children out violates their First Amendment rights.
For Justice, the fundamental issue isn’t the debate over faith, sex or gender, but rather the rights of parents to make decisions about their children’s education. She noted Justice Samuel Alito’s questioning of the attorneys for the school district.
“They (parents) are just saying, ‘Look, we want out.’ Why isn’t that feasible?” Alito asked the attorney. “What is the big deal about allowing them to opt out of this?”
Parents are being denied control of their children’s educations in this case because “this really divisive and ideological curriculum is being introduced to students as young as three and four years old,” Justice said.
“In the name of kindness and inclusion, students are being told that maybe they were born in the wrong body, and there are discussions about sexuality and sex education that would normally happen in a health class starting in maybe fourth or fifth grade.
“Parents can opt out of that health instruction, but in this situation, they can’t”
Justice also commented on the New Hampshire case of parents being banned from Bow public schools after a silent protest on behalf of girls-only sports that involved wearing pink wristbands with “XX” written on them. A federal judge recently ruled the school had the right to ban those messages, while allowing “Pride” messaging, because the former is “harassing” while the latter is not.
“I think ultimately that ruling will be overturned,” Justice predicted.
“Those parents at the game, their daughters were playing a team that had a boy who thought he was a girl, playing on the opposite team. The parents didn’t say a word. They sat there with their pink wristbands on.”
As for the judge finding the parents’ opinions offensive, “The First Amendment isn’t there to protect the speech that we like. It’s there to protect the speech that we don’t like.”
New Hampshire Democrats continue to fight against efforts to limit girls sports to biological females, and they overwhelmingly voted against legislation allowing single-sex bathrooms and locker rooms based on biology.
And despite polls showing Americans overwhelmingly support protecting girls’ sports from male athletes, both U.S. Reps. Maggie Goodlander and Chris Pappas voted against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025earlier this year.
The bill passed with overwhelming GOP support, but Democrats used the filibuster to keep it from coming to the floor of the U.S. Senate for a vote. Both U.S. Sens. Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen supported the filibuster.
The fact remains, says Justice, that common sense is prevailing over far-left ideology.
