Experts discuss the impact the U.S. v. Skrmetti case could have on transgender medical procedures for children across the country.
The Supreme Court began hearing oral arguments for the high-profile case involving Tennessee's ban on transgender medical procedures for minors on Wednesday, and one expert is saying the historic case shows 'the pendulum is swinging.' The case, U.S. v. Skrmetti, will decide whether Tennessee's ban on transgender medical procedures is constitutional and could impact whether states will enact more bans and allow individuals to sue medical providers.
But I will say this is going to present a very interesting potential, about FACE with the incoming Trump administration, they have made very clear during the campaign that they want to restrict these procedures for minors,' Perry said. 'So the Department of Justice under President Trump has an opportunity to reverse course, to file a motion to dismiss, voluntarily dismiss the case, and then it presents an interesting question: what do the justices do?' she added.
The case comes as transgender issues have become a hotly debated topic in the country's culture wars. Several large medical groups, including the American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Psychological Association and American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, all endorse transgender medical procedures for children. Meanwhile, more than 26 states have either restricted or passed laws banning them.
