Supreme Court to Take up Challenge on Bans for Gender-Affirming Care

The US Supreme Court agreed to hear the challenge for the case, United States v. Skrmetti. The Biden Administration asked the justices to take up the case which bans certain medical treatments for transgender minors in Tennessee. 

The case, which will be argued in the next term beginning in October, will be the first time justices will weigh in on the matter.
