Families of trans kids worry about what's next after Supreme Court rules on gender-affirming care
A U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors is leaving transgender children and their parents uncertain and anxious about its impact. The court on Wednesday handed President Donald Trump’s administration and Republican-led states a significant victory. The ruling effectively protects them from at least some of the legal challenges against efforts to repeal safeguards for transgender people. The case stems from a Tennessee law banning puberty blockers and hormone treatments for transgender minors. One mother in New Hampshire worries she may be forced to move if lawmakers come down with stiffer restrictions blocking her child from care.
