How a Supreme Court decision on health care bans for transgender youth could impact trans people nationwide

CNN  

CNN — When Tennessee banned gender-affirming care for transgender youth last year, Sarah began taking days off work to drive hundreds of miles from her home in Nashville to a North Carolina clinic that could treat her transgender son. Parents like Sarah and transgender communities across the United States will be paying close attention Wednesday as the US Supreme Court hears arguments in US v. Skrmetti – a case that could determine whether states can ban certain forms of gender-affirming care for trans children and teens. What could happen if the ban is upheld A court ruling that upholds the Tennessee law would bolster the national patchwork of trans health care bans, making gender-affirming care for minors much more difficult to access in half of the country and potentially opening the door for wider restrictions for trans people, Redburn said. Transgender advocates fear the lack of health care access could exacerbate mental illness among trans minors and, in extreme cases, push some families to leave the state entirely. In a brief written to the court, Meerkamper and other LGBTQ advocates argued that lack of access to gender-affirming care has caused some trans youth “extreme distress, including severe anxiety and depression, substance issues, self-harm, and/or suicidality.” As families in states with trans health care bans grow increasingly desperate, Meerkamper said they have seen people split up their household, sending one parent to live in another state with their trans child while the other parent and siblings stay behind because of work and school obligations.
