If justices agree to take the case, any ruling would have major implications for the 19 states that have enacted laws restricting transgender youths from receiving transition-related care.The Justice Department's filing argues the Tennessee ban violates the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.
It would, among other things, bar transgender minors from getting prescriptions for hormones or puberty blockers or receiving gender-affirming surgery.that blocked part of the ban and allowed it to take effect. Another panel of judges from the 6th Circuit subsequently allowed Kentucky to continue enforcing a similar ban, saying there weren't enough differences with Tennessee's prohibitions to merit a different decision.
Later, the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals reinstated Alabama's ban on puberty blockers and hormones."If these laws are allowed to go into effect, transgender adolescents in large swaths of the country will lose access to medically necessary care, resulting in 'predictable and significant harms' like escalating distress, anxiety and suicidality," the Justice Department wrote in its petition.
