The Supreme Court is considering a challenge to Tennessee's ban on medication for transgender minors, a law known as SB1, which is among approximately 21 similar state laws. This challenge is brought forth by three transgender minors, their parents, and a doctor responsible for 16 transgender youth patients. Concurrently, the Fourth Circuit has ruled that state health plans must cover gender-affirming care, a decision that contrasts with actions such as Florida's lawsuit against the U.S. government's attempt to mandate state coverage for child gender transitions.
