US EditionThis year's Transgender Day of Visibility has a different tenor
- The Supreme Court will decide in United States v. Skrmetti whether Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth is unconstitutional, with oral arguments set for December 4th.
- Tennessee is one of 26 states that has banned gender-affirming care for minors, including puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy, though these treatments may be allowed for cisgender youth.
- The Biden administration petitioned the Supreme Court on behalf of trans youth and their families in Tennessee, as the ban has caused disruptions in care, forcing families to travel long distances and causing hospitals and pharmacies to deny care and prescriptions.
- Experts like Ezra Young, Michael Ulrich, and Sruti Swaminathan suggest the outcome of United States v. Skrmetti could have broader implications for healthcare access and bodily autonomy for all Americans, potentially impacting the ability to make medical decisions, with Swaminathan stating, "What we learned from Dobbs is that these attacks won't stop with abortion."
- The case is seen as part of a larger coordinated effort to restrict both abortion access and gender-affirming care, raising fundamental questions about the definition of sex and who is protected, potentially curtailing bodily autonomy and impacting healthcare, legal recognition, and protection from discrimination for the LGBTQ+ community.
