SCOTUS Seems Likely To Uphold Ban On Sex Changes For Children

It appears the Supreme court is likely to uphold a ban on sex changes for minors, after hearing two and a half hours of tense oral arguments over a challenge to a Tennessee law. About half the states in the nation have similar bans on the books
Two conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, are very unlikely to oppose the bans.
While the three key conservative votes will come from Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh — who all seemed to be on Tennessee's side.
Justice Kavanaugh interested in how the decision will impact girls sports,
"And I want to ask in particular about one thing if you prevail here on the standard of review, what would that mean for women's and girls sports, in particular, would transgender athletes have a constitutional right as you see it to play in women's and girls' sports, basketball, swimming, volleyball, track, et cetera. Notwithstanding the competitive fairness and safety issues that have been vocally raised by some female athletes seen in the amicus brief of the uh many women athletes in this case. So can you explain how intermediate scrutiny would apply to women's sports?"
