"Just bringing such a personal case up to the Supreme Court and making these justices make such a personal decision for queer kids and their families is kind of ridiculous. They were not sitting in that hospital room with me when I was getting my top surgery."

STORYLINE:
The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors, a stunning setback to transgender rights.

The justices’ 6-3 decision in a case from Tennessee effectively protects from legal challenges many efforts by President Donald Trump’s Republican administration and state governments to roll back protections for transgender people. Another 26 states have laws similar to Tennessee’s.
