United States v. Skrmetti, Docket No. 23-477

The Supreme Court upheld Tennessee's law (SB1) prohibiting healthcare providers from prescribing puberty blockers or hormones to minors for the purpose of treating gender dysphoria or enabling a minor to identify with a gender inconsistent with their biological sex. The Court held that the law does not classify on the basis of sex or transgender status, is not subject to heightened scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause, and satisfies rational basis review because it is rationally related to the state's legitimate interest in protecting minors' health and welfare.music for the podcast provided by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Dimitry Taras
