Beschreibung:

The US Supreme Court has upheld a Tennessee law banning gender transition care for young people, in a decision expected to have consequences nationwide, given that 25 states have similar laws.

The justices voted 6 to 3 that the 2023 law restricting minors' access to treatments such as puberty blockers was not discrimination.

Three Tennessee transgender teenagers, their parents, and a doctor who provides transition medications had argued the state's ban violated a US constitutional guarantee of equal protection under the law by discriminating on the basis of sex.

The case, known as United States v Skrmetti, was the first time the court had taken up transgender healthcare.
