The Supreme Court will soon decide whether states can ban gender-affirming care for trans minors

Salon  

The Supreme Court is set to hear one of the most important trans rights cases in history on Wednesday, with the nation's highest court set to decide whether a state-level ban on gender-affirming care for minors is an unconstitutional form of sex discrimination. In defending its ban, the state of Tennessee has repeatedly cited the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision, which overturned the federal right to abortion and gave jurisdiction over reproductive rights to the states. “Under my leadership, this madness will end.” Since the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, at least 26 states have restricted or banned gender-affirming care for minors, despite the objections and guidelines brought forward by a number of U.S. medical associations. “We’ve seen just how far extreme politicians will push to deny us our reproductive freedom, from banning abortion to threatening IVF to even threatening to put doctors in jail for providing emergency care, with deadly consequences for women’s lives,” Jennifer Dalven, director of the ACLU’s Reproductive Freedom Project, said in a statement.
