When the Supreme Court hears an appeal Wednesday from transgender youths challenging a Tennessee ban on their medical care, fundamental principles forbidding sex discrimination will be on the line.

A case to be heard by the Supreme Court on December 4th is set to reignite debate about one of the election’s most controversial issues: the rights of transgender people, and specifically the medical transitioning of minors.

The issue of transgender rights animated the presidential campaign. Now it has made its way to the Supreme Court, and in more ways than one.

The Supreme Court is set to hear the first-ever case on the legality of bans targeting transgender procedures for minors.

WASHINGTON — The conservative Supreme Court is poised to leap into another culture-war battle between red states and blue states, this time involving medical rights of transgender teens and their parents.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments Wednesday in a case involving Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender people under age 18.

The United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Wednesday in a case on whether states can ban gender-affirming surgeries for minors. Alabama filed a brief in support of the Tennessee law banning sex-change procedures for children challenged in the case.

For Chase Strangio, the professional path that’s led to this moment – in which he’ll have 15 minutes to present an argument defending gender-affirming care for trans youth before the Supreme Court – cannot be unwoven from his life outside the courtroom.
