Supreme Court seemed inclined to uphold laws that ban gender-affirming care for transgender youth.

However, Biden Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson says there’s no difference between giving testosterone to boys and girls, therefore, a ban is discrimination. 🥴🤡

Medical authorities in the U.S. largely agree that treatments like puberty blockers and hormone therapy are safe, but the court's conservative justices said they do not want to overrule states' objections to those therapies.

The central question before the court is whether Tennessee is simply regulating the practice of medicine or discriminating on the basis of sex. If it's the latter, the state would have to clear a much higher legal bar to defend its law.

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh — all seemed to come down on Tennessee's side.

Kavanaugh cited medical disagreements and tight regulations in Europe, arguing that the science of gender-affirming care is unsettled and that the court should not "constitutional-ize" the issue.
