Supreme Court Hears Challenge to Tennessee Gender-Affirming Care Ban

The Supreme Court is hearing the Williams family's challenge to Tennessee's 2023 ban on gender-affirming medical treatments for minors in Washington, DC, on December 4, 2024. These treatments, which have been used to treat minors of all genders for years, are now prohibited in Tennessee when used to treat trans kids struggling with gender dysphoria, the distress experienced when one's gender assigned at birth is different from one's sense of identity.
