The Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Skrmetti that Tennessee's law, which prohibits surgical and hormonal interventions for minors experiencing gender dysphoria, is constitutional. This 6-3 decision articulated the belief that such procedures are not only fundamentally flawed but can also have harmful long-term effects on children. The ruling signifies a setback for activists seeking to impose their views against state regulations, highlighting the clash between medical interventions and traditional views on gender identity.
Opponents of the Tennessee law argued it violates the Equal Protection Clause, but the Supreme Court upheld the law in favor of state interests in protecting minors.
The long-term effects of surgical and hormonal interventions for minors with gender dysphoria are becoming evident as data increasingly highlights the potential harms.
