Esta es una situación bien difícil para los/las jóvenes Trans y no binarie asegurar sus servicios y medicación para su reafirmación de género..
In case you missed last week’s news, our ongoing work to protect the rights and dignity of transgender youth and their families in Tennessee — and nationwide — has reached the Supreme Court.
The Court agreed to hear a pivotal legal challenge against a 2023 Tennessee law that bans gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth. The Court granted review based on a petition by the U.S. government, which intervened in our case, LW. v. Skrmetti, brought by Lambda Legal, American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Tennessee, and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, on behalf of Tennessee families and a medical provider.
The case will be briefed this fall. It’s the Court’s first on the merits regarding equal access to medical care for transgender youth.
We are grateful that transgender young people and their families will now have their day in the highest court, and we will not stop fighting to ensure access to this life-saving, medically necessary care.
Be sure to follow us as we continue to provide updates on our work on this critical case. https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-supreme-court-hear-challenge-ban-transgender-care-minors-2024-06-24/
