On December 4, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in a case out of Tennessee called U.S. v. Skrmetti that could determine the future of gender-affirming care in the United States.
In the monumental case, families, doctors, and the United States government are asking the Supreme Court to strike down Tennessee’s ban on hormone therapy for transgender youth.
Gender Justice legal and policy experts held a briefing to walk listeners through the key legal arguments made on December 4th, explaining how this case advanced to the nation's highest court, and discussing the potential outcomes that could impact transgender rights across the country. Today’s episode is a recording of that briefing.
Links and resources mentioned in the briefing:
