The Supreme Court hears oral arguments on the ability of states to restrict treatments for minors whose gender identity doesn't align with their sex assigned at birth.

The Supreme Court appeared likely to back a divisive Tennessee law that bans gender-affirming care for minors after more than two hours of oral arguments on Wednesday in which the court delved into a culture war battle that has become even more politically fraught since the election.

Conservative-leaning Supreme Court justices suggested during oral arguments Wednesday they’re inclined to uphold Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors, in a landmark case that could have repercussions nationwide as Republicans have increasingly targeted transgender rights and enacted bans on gender-affirming healthcare for minors.
