The American Bar Association (ABA) condemned Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care, calling it 'fundamentally anathema to our constitutional history and traditions,' emphasizing its discriminatory nature.
ACLU staff attorney Lucas Cameron-Vaughn stated that the law 'inflicts further pain and injustice on trans youth and their families,' urging the Court to strike down this discriminatory law.
The law bans puberty blockers and hormone treatments for transgender youth while allowing similar treatments for cisgender youth, raising significant concerns about discrimination in healthcare access.
Several medical organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association, oppose the bans enacted by conservative states, advocating instead for life-saving gender-affirming care.
