The Supreme Court hears oral arguments today at 10 a.m. on the ability of states to restrict treatments for minors whose gender identity doesn’t align with their sex assigned at birth.
In the latest culture war battle to hit the high court, the justices will debate whether Tennessee can ban puberty blockers and hormone therapy for gender dysphoria – while allowing those treatments for other purposes.
Tennessee, one of about two dozen states that have passed such restrictions in recent years, argues there are too many risks and not enough proven benefits to giving transgender minors the ability to delay puberty and develop physical traits that align with their gender identity.
