The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Wednesday over whether a Tennessee law denying some kinds of medical care to transgender youth runs afoul of the Constitution.
Challengers of the law argue it violates the Constitution by denying equal protection to transgender people, primarily by discriminating against them based on sex.
The Tennessee law prohibits medical providers from prescribing puberty-delaying medication, providing hormone therapy or performing surgery to treat purported discomfort or distress.
Unless the court rules that heightened scrutiny applies, it will almost certainly uphold the law, impacting transgender rights significantly.
