"The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to uphold Tennessee's SB1 banning gender-affirming care for minors represents a significant setback for the rights of transgender Americans."
"Tennessee's Senate Bill 1 (SB1) prohibits medical treatments that alleviate symptoms of gender dysphoria, affecting the health and well-being of transgender youth."
The U.S. Supreme Court decided in US v. Skrmetti to uphold Tennessee's Senate Bill 1, which bans gender-affirming care for minors. The 6-3 ruling by the conservative court concluded that the law does not violate the Equal Protection Clause, despite restricting medical treatments based on assigned sex at birth. This decision has far-reaching implications for transgender Americans, who face increasing attacks on their rights. The law prohibits treatments such as puberty-blockers and hormone therapies, which are currently supported by medical professionals for addressing gender dysphoria.
