Overview
The Supreme Court will hear arguments regarding Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors on December 4, 2024. The case, U.S. v. Skrmetti, raises critical constitutional issues surrounding equal protection under the 14th Amendment. The ACLU represents families challenging the law, citing risks to mental health and the need for medical care.
