US EditionUS Supreme Court upholds ban on gender-affirming care for minors
- On June 18, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Tennessee's legislation that prohibits minors from receiving puberty blockers and hormone treatments related to gender transition.
- This ruling followed legal challenges arguing the law violated equal protection, while states defended it as protecting children from unproven treatments.
- The 6-3 decision upheld age- and condition-based restrictions without barring treatment based on sex, amid growing debates and 26 states passing similar bans since 2021.

- The decision likely encourages states to enforce or enact restrictions, increasing scrutiny of gender-affirming care's evidence and clinical rationale for minors.
