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. A ruling could either reinforce or dismantle existing state laws limiting transgender healthcare access. Advocates warn of the decision's potential impact on LGBTQ rights nationwide as similar bans have been enacted across 26 states.
