In Closely Watched Transgender Case, Supreme Court To Hear Arguments Over ‘Gender-Affirming’ Procedures for Minors
The Biden administration is challenging a Tennessee law banning the treatments in a decision that will likely have a ripple effect across the country.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Wednesday over the constitutionality of state bans on transgender procedures for minors, in one of the most high-profile cases the justices will consider this term.
The closely watched case, United States v. Skrmetti, will unfold as the Supreme Court has been relatively quiet on transgender issues so far even as a debate rages across the country. The case centers around a Tennessee law, SB1, that prevents healthcare providers from performing “gender-transitioning” procedures on minors — and the court’s decision is expected to affect more than 20 states that have enacted similar bans or restrictions.
