Supreme Court to Decide Landmark Transgender Care Case

TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear a significant case on whether Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors is unconstitutional, a decision that could influence similar laws in 26 other states. The case, supported by medical groups like the American Medical Association, challenges the law under the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause. The outcome could either uphold a patchwork of state laws or lead to further legal battles over transgender rights and healthcare access. A ruling is expected by June.
