The Supreme Court's ruling in United States v. Skrmetti upheld a Tennessee law banning gender-affirming care for transgender youth, reflecting a broader anti-trans movement supported by the Trump administration. This case reveals how attacks on trans rights are linked to the erosion of women's rights, undermining both groups' legal protections. Democratic responses have been weak, focusing narrowly on trans Americans without acknowledging the broader implications for women's rights, which are also under siege as a result of these anti-trans measures.
Ignoring the retrenchment on trans rights will only come at sex equality's peril.
Trans rights and women's rights are inextricably linked, legally and politically, and both are now under attack.
