The U.S. Supreme Court decided Monday to review the Biden administration's 'equal protection' challenge to Tennessee's ban on puberty blockers and transgender surgeries for minors. The case, U.S. v. Skrmetti, will be argued in the term that starts in October. It is the first time the high court will consider restrictions on puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgery for minors. Tennessee is one of 22 states that has measures banning such medical intervention for minors.
' Among those filing amicus briefs opposing the state law is actor Elliot Page, one of 57 transgender people who joined in supporting the Biden administration’s suit. And the administration in their filing with the high court says 25 states have laws restricting or banning 'gender-affirming medical care' for transgender youth. South Carolina last week passed its law.
