VisitU.S. Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to Republican-Backed Tennessee Bans on Gender-Affirming Care for Minors
Jun 24, 2024, 01:47 PM
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a challenge to Republican-backed state bans on gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors. The case, U.S. v. Skrmetti, involves a Tennessee law, SB1, that prohibits healthcare providers from offering certain drugs and procedures, such as cross-sex hormones, to minors with gender dysphoria. The challenge, brought by the Biden administration, argues that these bans violate the equal protection clause. This decision marks the Court's entry into another contentious issue related to LGBT rights and will be considered in its next term.
