The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a landmark case on the constitutionality of state bans on gender-affirming care for transgender minors, specifically focusing on a Tennessee law that restricts puberty blockers and hormone therapy. This case will have significant implications for similar laws across the U.S., including recent legislation in states like Texas and South Carolina. The Biden administration and activists argue these bans violate constitutional rights, while Republican-led states defend them as necessary to protect children. The Supreme Court's decision, expected by June 2025, will address whether such bans infringe on equal protection and parental rights. Meanwhile, newly unsealed court documents reveal that U.S. health officials pressured the World Professional Association for Transgender Health to remove age restrictions for teenage surgeries, citing political concerns over growing opposition to transgender treatments.
