Within the post, he embedded a screenshot of Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas’ concurring opinion issued today in United States v. Skrmetti, which upheld a Tennessee law banning sex change surgeries on minors.
Thomas’ concurrence listed off several problems he found with those challenging Tennessee’s law, which included "there is no medical consensus on how best to treat gender dysphoria in children" and "leading voices in this area have relied on questionable evidence, and have allowed ideology to influence their medical guidance."
In his second and third posts, Vance said: "To that end, I found Justice Thomas's concurrence on medical care for transgender youth quite illuminating. He argues that many of our so-called ‘experts’ have used bad arguments and substandard science to push experimental therapies on our youth," and "I might add that many of those scientists are receiving substantial resources from big pharma to push these medicines on kids. What do you think?"
In response, Bluesky quickly suspended Vance’s account. However, it was shortly reinstated after a brief period.

The suspension even garnered condemnation from Vance critics. Liberal reporter Billy Binion commented, "I can’t stand JD Vance. But suspending the sitting vice president is exactly why Bluesky is unserious & doomed to fail."

"If you claim to care about real debate, you can’t wall yourself off from everyone outside the progressive bubble—esp[icially] someone who might be president one day," wrote Binion.
