The Trump administration is withdrawing the federal government’s opposition to a state law barring certain transition care for transgender teens — an abrupt but not unexpected reversal from the Biden administration’s position in a case pending before the Supreme Court.

The government’s top appellate lawyers told the Supreme Court on Friday that the Justice Department was disavowing the Biden administration’s challenge to a Tennessee law banning hormone and puberty-blocker treatments for young people.

“The government’s previously stated views no longer represent the United States’ position,” the solicitor general’s office said in a letter to the court. The case, which includes other parties challenging the ban, can continue. A ruling is expected by summer.

The administration’s sharp pivot follows President Donald Trump’s order last week to end federal support for gender transition care for people under age 19.
