Peppermint Instagram – Reposted from @chasestrangio: Today we filed our brief on behalf of trans youth, their families and a TN doctor in United States v. Skrmetti, our case challenging Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming medical care for trans adolescents.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments in our case this Winter and we expect a decision in June of 2025. As government discrimination against trans people is more rampant than ever, the stakes could not be higher.
And not just for trans people.
The Court’s ultimate decision will not only affect the ability of trans people to secure constitutional protections but it will also test how far the Court’s decision overturning the right to abortion will reach into other areas of law.
Constitutional protections for sex discrimination are under threat across so many areas of life as we contend with legal and political structures invested in enforcing regressive gender norms for everyone. The more we are tethered to expectations associated with our sex assigned at birth, the less free we are.
This case is a fight for all of us. Pay attention and join us! | Posted on 28/Aug/2024 01:33:18
