The Supreme Court upheld Tennessee’s law banning gender-affirming healthcare for transgender minors, delivering a major blow to access to care for trans people as the Trump administration seeks to end federal recognition of trans people entirely.
The high court’s 6-3 decision on Wednesday written by Chief Justice John Roberts is expected to have nationwide impacts, after more than two dozen states enacted similar bans on access to hormone therapy and other gender-affirming healthcare for trans people under 18.
