Supreme Court's Transgender Rights Case: Key Issues and Global Perspectives

The Supreme Court is set to hear Skrmetti v. U.S., a pivotal case concerning the legality of state bans on gender-affirming care for transgender youth under the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause. These bans, enacted in nearly half of U.S. states, are seen as discriminatory, targeting transgender minors while allowing similar treatments for cisgender peers. The case challenges whether such laws should face heightened judicial scrutiny for sex discrimination, with potential implications for broader gender equality rights. The outcome could significantly impact transgender rights and state power over personal medical decisions.
