Democrats, major medical groups denounce Supreme Court’s gender-affirming care ruling

  • The U.S. Supreme Court upheld Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors in a 6-3 ruling on Wednesday, June 18, 2025.
  • The case, U.S. v. Skrmetti, involved three families and a healthcare provider challenging the law as violating the 14th Amendment, while Tennessee argued it protects children.
  • Conservatives and the Trump administration praised the decision for protecting children, but Democrats and LGBTQ+ advocates condemned it as harmful and a major legal setback.
  • Senators Blumenthal and Murphy are advocating for federal legislation aimed at enhancing protections against discrimination targeting individuals based on their sexual orientation and gender identity.
  • The ruling may lead more states to enforce similar bans risking unsafe care for transgender youth, but Illinois remains a sanctuary with shield laws for those seeking gender-affirming healthcare.
