Today the US Supreme Court will hear case No. 23-477. United States v. Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter for Tennessee, et al. The case concerns whether Tennessee Senate Bill 1 violates the Fourteenth Amendment. The questions presented is: Whether Tennessee Senate Bill 1 (SBl), which prohibits all medical treatments intended to allow 'a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex' or to treat 'purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's sex and asserted identity,' Tenn. Code Ann. $ 68-33-103(a)(1), violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Tennessee's law which forbids medical treatments that are intended to allow a minor 'to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex' or to treat 'purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's sex and asserted identity'. Kentucky's law prohibits medical treatments 'for the purpose of attempting to alter the appearance of, or to validate a minor's perception of, [a] minor's sex'. Both provisions outlaw a range of treatments, including gender-reassignment surgery. But the challenges before the court specifically concern two nonsurgical treatments: the administration of puberty blockers to stop physical changes brought on by puberty; and hormone therapy, which seeks to produce physiological changes to conform physical appearance with gender identity.
