The United States Supreme Court has agreed to review a decision from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals regarding bans on transgender health care for youth in Tennessee and Kentucky. GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) issued a statement regarding the Supreme Court’s action on this matter.
State bans on health care for transgender adolescents are causing harm and suffering for transgender individuals and their families. The Supreme Court has the opportunity to affirm its previous ruling in Bostock and make it clear that discrimination against transgender people is not acceptable under the Constitution.
The case the Supreme Court will review involves decisions made by the Sixth Circuit that reversed federal district court rulings on transgender health care bans in Kentucky and Tennessee. GLAD is currently involved in challenging state bans on health care for transgender individuals in Alabama and Florida, where a federal court recently blocked a law restricting care for transgender individuals.
GLAD and other organizations are working to ensure that transgender individuals have access to necessary medical care and are not targeted by discriminatory laws. The Supreme Court’s review of this case will have significant implications for the rights of transgender individuals across the country.
