ACLU Asks Supreme Court To Block Tennessee Ban On Gender-Affirming Care For Trans Youth

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : However, the ACLU, medical providers and families of transgender youth in the state say that the law has already affected patients who began gender-affirming care prior to the enforcement of the ban.
44% : So far in 2023, state legislatures have introduced more than 500 anti-LGBTQ bills not only targeting access to health care but also barring transgender students' participation in sports, restricting the ability to use their preferred bathrooms and allowing school officials to out or misgender students.
43% : A federal judge granted those families a preliminary injunction blocking the law in June, but the 6th Circuit overturned that ruling in September, allowing the ban in Tennessee, plus a similar ban in Kentucky, to stay in effect.
