US Supreme Court to rule on transgender minors' access to gender-affirming care
ai generated text
The United States Supreme Court is currently hearing a landmark case, United States v Skrmetti, which challenges a Tennessee law (SB1) that prohibits minors from receiving puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and gender-affirming surgeries. The case has significant implications, as a ruling could affect similar laws enacted in 25 other states. The court's decision will be made by a conservative-dominated bench, following a presidential election, amid heated debates on LGBTQ+ rights.
SB1 unlawfully denies transgender children medically necessary care, overriding the judgment of parents and healthcare professionals.
