Trump Administration Changes Stance on Transgender Care for Minors at Supreme Court

In a significant shift, the Trump administration has withdrawn its support for transgender minors in a Supreme Court case concerning a Tennessee law banning gender-affirming care for youth. The Department of Justice has indicated that it now believes such bans are constitutional, reversing its previous position. This change comes as the administration backs down from contesting the Tennessee ban, effectively endorsing the legal restrictions against youth transgender treatment. Critics view this as a step backward for transgender rights at a time when legal battles over healthcare access for minors continue to gain momentum.
