Supreme Court Ruling on Transgender Treatments for Minors Draws Media Criticism as Rights Debate Intensifies

TENNESSEE, UNITED STATES, JUN 18 – The Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling allows states to restrict gender-affirming care for minors, affecting over 20 states with similar laws, according to legal experts and advocacy groups.

  • The Supreme Court upheld Tennessee's SB 1 law on Wednesday by a 6-3 vote, banning gender-affirming care for minors under age 18.
  • This ruling follows a wider backlash against trans rights, with SB 1 allowing care only to align a child’s body with their birth-assigned sex.
  • Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented bitterly, accusing the Court of abandoning transgender youth, ignoring sex classification protections under Title VII.
  • A 2025 study published in JAMA Pediatrics reported that puberty blockers or hormone therapy were administered to just 0.1% of transgender adolescents who had private insurance.
  • The ruling likely limits essential medical care access for transgender youth, heightens discriminatory state policies, and signals ongoing legal conflicts.
