Supreme Court to Hear Landmark Case on Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth

The Court's decision on Tennessee's ban could set a precedent for similar laws across the United States.

The case, United States v. Skrmetti, challenges Tennessee's prohibition on puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgeries for minors.
The Biden administration has intervened, supporting the challenge against the state's ban.
Twenty-five states have enacted similar bans, many of which are currently blocked or facing legal challenges.
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals previously upheld Tennessee's law in a split decision.
Advocates argue that denying gender-affirming care violates fundamental human rights and medical guidelines.
