Supreme Court Leans Toward Upholding Tennessee's Transgender Care Ban for Minors

The U.S. Supreme Court's conservative majority appeared skeptical of a challenge to Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors, suggesting such issues should be decided by state legislatures. The case, brought by three transgender children and their parents, argues the ban violates constitutional equal protection rights. The law prohibits treatments like puberty blockers for gender transition but allows them for other medical conditions. A decision is expected by summer.
