The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to review a Tennessee law that bans gender transition care for people younger than 18. The case will be the first opportunity the justices have to consider the constitutionality of such restrictions, which more than 20 states have passed since 2021.

Civil rights advocates said Monday that the law violates the constitutional right to equal protection, and urged to justices to overturn it.

“It’s crucial to recognize that for trans youth and their families, this isn’t about politics — it’s about the fundamental freedom to access vital, life-saving healthcare,” Lucas Cameron-Vaughn, a staff attorney at the ACLU of Tennessee, said in a statement.

“This case will bring much-needed clarity to whether the Constitution contains special protections for gender identity,” Skrmetti said in a statement on X.
