In this episode of The UnWoke Show, we break down the Supreme Court’s bombshell ruling upholding Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors. What does this mean for trans youth, parental rights, and the role of medical science in lawmaking?
We dive into the United States v. Skrmetti case, explore the broader trend of SCOTUS leaning into America’s culture wars, and preview the upcoming legal battles over transgender athletes in schools. Plus, we examine how red states are doubling down, how blue states are suing back, and why this clash may redefine civil rights for a generation.
Was this a legal victory for state sovereignty—or a political blow to personal freedom? You decide.
