The Supreme Court case centers on Tennessee’s ban on puberty blockers and hormone treatments, which trans patients call lifesaving and the state made illegal.

When Tennessee banned gender-affirming care for transgender youth last year, Sarah began taking days off work to drive hundreds of miles from her home in Nashville to a North Carolina clinic that could treat her transgender son.

At issue is a Tennessee law that bans access to hormones, puberty blockers, and other treatments for trans kids in the state.

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments Wednesday in just its second major transgender rights case, a challenge to a Tennessee law that bans gender-affirming care for minors

The Supreme Court will consider if states can keep transgender adolescents from puberty blockers and hormone therapy, a major culture war flashpoint.

More than 20 states have moved to restrict gender-affirming care for youth. Now, the high court will weigh in on Tennessee’s law, and a decision could have wider implications.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear the biggest transgender rights case in its history. The decision in United States v. Skrmetti has the potential to be a seismic one.
