The United States Supreme Court supports a Tennessee’s ban on gender care for minors

Upper United States The conservative majority of the court on Wednesday supported the province of Tennessee on the care of the assured minors.

in 6-3 Resolution in United States against skrmettiJudges found that Tennessee’s law is not unconstitutional. The central issue of the issue was whether a Tennessee banned violating the element of equal protection in the fourteenth amendment, which states that the government cannot distinguish against individuals based on their race, gender or other characteristics. The ruling does not affect the countries where the care of the confirmed sexes remains legal, but it determines a precedent that countries can ban this type of treatment.

The lawsuit was brought to the court by three transgender teenagers and their parents, in addition to a doctor, with the Ministry of Justice joining the Biden administration to the prosecutors. They argued that a Tennessee’s law is distinguished based on sex and sex by rejecting medical care for sexually transformed youth available to other minors. This is the first case taken by the Supreme Court on the issue of sexual care for minors.

Gender -confirmed care includes a variety of medical services that aim to help the person’s body closely align with his sexual identity. It can include hormonal therapy, puberty blockers, and surgeries.

Tennessee was written in its law in 2023, which prevents healthcare providers from prescribing medicines or providing confirmed gender surgical procedures for minors whose sexual identities differ from their gender appointed at birth. The law excludes procedures that deal with congenital defects or physical injuries, as well as the gender medical care of minors whose sexual identity corresponds to their gender appointed at birth. This means, for example, that a boy with obstetrics, a hormonal condition that causes expanded male breast tissue, may receive medicines or undergo surgery to remove breast tissue to comply with her sexual identity, but a transgender individual cannot receive the same treatment of the two sexes.

today Supreme Court ruling,, Which was delivered by John Roberts President John Roberts, confirms that Tennessee is not a discrimination because it “prevents health care providers from managing puberty or hormones to any minor to treat gender defects, sexual identity disorder or gender compatibility, regardless of the gender of the minor.” According to the judges, the Tennessee law does not rule out any individual of medical treatments based on their transgender status. “Instead, it removes one set of diagnoses – indigestion in both sexes, sexual identity disorder, and sexual intercourse – from the scope of treatment.”

Since 2021, more than twenty countries have adopted laws or policies that prohibit or severely limit the gender care of people under the age of 18. Many of these states also punish healthcare practitioners for providing this type of care for minors or providing them with this type of care. According to Health policy is not profitable KFF40 percent of transient youth, between the ages of 13 and 17, lives in the state of Sint, a policy against gender care.

Although many states face legal challenges to prohibit them, the Supreme Court’s decision today means that these laws will remain sound.

The leading medical organizations-including the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Psychiatric Association, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecology, and the World Health Organization-supports obtaining gender stimulating care for sexually transformed youth, which they say is supported by the supported material Scientific evidence. one Study from 2022 I surveyed approximately 12,000 transgender people and other young people between the ages of 13 and 24 and found that those who received hormonal therapy confirmed for both sexes have decreased depression rates and suicide ideas, and tried to commit suicide from those who did not receive hormonal therapy.

“The decision of the Supreme Court today is a devastating blow to the transgender youth and the families you love,” Kelly Robinson, head of the Human Rights Campaign, a organization that enhances civil rights LGBTQ. “Families may now have to make a tragic option to leave their mandate or divide their families, or to bear large -scale financial burdens, in order to ensure that their children can access the necessary care medically.”
