Today the Supreme Court issued its ruling on the United States. v Skrmetti and it's heartbreaking. I thought that Chase Strangio gave a solid argument for the plaintiffs but the conservative judges thought differently.
And so now this ruling sets a precedent that will not only negatively affect trans teens but could, and most likely will, affect trans adults and their ability to access gender affirming healthcare.
This is a terrible blow to the Equal Protection and Privacy Clauses of the 14th Amendment.
