Supreme Court Upholds Tennessee Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Minors

The Supreme Court has allowed a Tennessee law banning gender-affirming care for minors to remain in effect. This decision marks a significant development in the ongoing debate surrounding transgender rights.

This decision means that transgender youth in Tennessee will be unable to access treatments like puberty blockers and hormone therapy.

The legal challenge to the law continues in lower courts, but for now, the ban stands.

This ruling underscores the ongoing debate surrounding transgender rights and medical care for minors, a contentious issue being actively contested across the United States.
