Summary

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear US v Skrmetti on December 4, a pivotal case on whether transgender youth have a constitutional right to gender-affirming healthcare.

Tennessee is defending its ban on such care using testimony from six “expert” doctors, most of whom have been discredited in past court cases as biased and inexperienced.

Critics, including medical associations, argue the ban denies life-saving, evidence-based treatments.

The ruling could have profound implications for trans rights, bodily autonomy, and state control over healthcare, echoing parallels to abortion rights restrictions.
