Liberty Nation News: Supreme Ct. Hears Challenge on Trans Care for Children Ban - Liberty Nation News
The Supreme Court is set to hear a significant case regarding Tennessee's ban on trans-affirming care for minors, which prohibits doctors from providing treatments aimed at facilitating gender transition. The Biden administration and some Tennessee residents challenge this law, arguing it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
The central issue revolves around the level of scrutiny the Court should apply in evaluating the law's constitutionality, with implications for sex discrimination. The challengers argue that the law discriminates based on biological sex, while the state contends that the treatments are not equivalent. A decision from the Court is anticipated in the spring.
