Some worry it will affect trans rights in the U.S. and other countries.
The ACLU's Chase Strangio will be the first out transgender attorney to argue before the high court as he challenges Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth.
Even though conservative justices expressing skepticism about such care, supporters of trans rights say there may be a favorable ruling.
The teen said she felt “normal now” after receiving gender-affirming care treatment.
The prominent officials take a stand for traditional Republican values against the discriminatory law in a U.S. Supreme Court amicus brief.
The law is the subject of a challenge in a case heard at the Supreme Court in December.
"God puts his people where he needs them," Jonathan Skrmetti said during the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting.
Here's what is at stake in U.S. v. Skrmetti, a case about health care for transgender youth.
These aren't final decisions on the bans, but they can't be enforced while lawsuits against them are heard.
The case, U.S. v. Skrmetti, will have far-reaching implications for gender-affirming care and other issues of bodily autonomy.
The ruling from the Sixth Circuit is the first court decision in favor of a ban on gender-affirming care for trans minors.
If the high court takes up the case, it would be the first one it hears on gender-affirming care.
Gender-affirming care, PrEP, and LGBTQ+ books are all on the docket.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued its ruling Thursday, but the lawyers representing trans youth and families note that the fight is not over.
The case U.S. v. Skrmetti is about the Equal Protection clause of the U.S. Constitution. The decision will shape gender-affirming care in America.
