David Hittner

And any chance that a child would see a cross-dresser being remotely sexually suggestive is itself obscene and covered by First Amendment exceptions.

So 2023, David Hittner, who I'm pretty sure was like a Reagan or a Bush judge in Texas, issued a ruling that was along the lines of, who are we kidding here? Obviously this is overbroad and a violation of the first amendment.

And it bounced around, you know, obviously Texas appealed and it went to the fifth circuit and the fifth circuit largely ducked it in a very bullshitty way.

The fifth circuit, um, reversed and kicked it back to the district court without taking the First Amendment arguments on at all.
