The New Yorker:

The Supreme Court this morning upheld a Tennessee law banning gender-affirming care for transgender minors, saying that it does not violate the Equal Protection Clause.

“It’s a huge setback symbolically, because we do, in our country, tend to measure the progress of civil rights through whether they’re affirmed by the Supreme Court. However, right now, more than half of the states have laws that limit minors’ access to gender-affirming care. That was true yesterday, and that will be true tomorrow. While it would have been a tremendous gain for trans rights to have a ruling that disallows those laws, nothing about this decision will in itself change the status quo.”
