ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio argued that Tennessee's law is discriminatory, stating it amounts to sex-based discrimination that violates the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause.
Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar emphasized that this ban on gender-affirming care restricts essential healthcare services exclusively to transgender minors, underscoring its discriminatory nature.
The American Bar Association labeled Tennessee's ban as "fundamentally anathema to our constitutional history and traditions," highlighting the broad legal implications of such legislation.
Currently, 26 states in the U.S. have restrictions on gender-affirming care, raising significant concerns about the rights and treatment of transgender youth across the nation.
