SCOTUS to Hear Equal Protection Challenge to Tennessee's Transgender Health Care Law on June 24

Jun 24, 2024, 02:39 PM

On June 24, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case challenging Tennessee SB1, a law that bars pharmaceutical and surgical treatment for minors with gender dysphoria. The Biden Administration's Equal Protection challenge to this law will be argued in the fall. The case has significant implications for the civil and medical freedoms of transgender individuals in the United States. This decision comes amid a wave of legislation in Republican-led states restricting health care for transgender people, school sports participation, bathroom usage, and drag shows. The ruling could potentially affirm that trans discrimination is sex discrimination, as argued by some legal experts.
