Tennessee's Regulation of Transgender Medical Treatments for Children

Tennessee's regulation of transgender medical treatments for children is focused on protecting them from making immature decisions, not sexism. The state's top lawyer argued that the different effects of puberty-blocking drugs on male and female bodies justify the law. The Supreme Court justices, including swing voters Kavanaugh and Gorsuch, debated whether elected legislators should set rules for transgender treatments. Progressive judges and Biden's lawyers oppose the law, claiming it promotes discrimination against transgender individuals. The case revolves around the clash between transgender rights and the court's history of barring sexism.
