The Supreme Court has upheld Tennessee's law (SB1) banning gender-affirming care for minors with a 6-3 vote in the case US v. Skrmetti. This decision is viewed as a significant regression in the rights of transgender individuals, drawing parallels to infamous historical rulings. Chief Justice John Roberts, in his majority opinion, conflates equal treatment with equitable treatment by claiming that denying care to both cisgender and transgender minors is not discrimination. This ruling indicates a troubling trend in which legal protections for marginalized groups are diminished under the veil of neutrality.
In US v. Skrmetti, the Supreme Court ruling reinforces a discriminatory Tennessee law against transgender youth, drawing parallels to historic injustices like Plessy and Dred Scott.
Chief Justice John Roberts employs an age-old legal tactic, suggesting that equal treatment is the same as equitable treatment, thereby enabling discrimination under the guise of equality.
