The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that the Tennessi law does not violate the United States of the United States, excluding youth blockers and hormone therapy for transgender minors.
Wednesday Decision Tennisi and the three left -sided judges of the High Court worked together for dissatisfaction with dissatisfaction.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote a majority opinion. In it, he made it clear that the complainant – three transgender minors, his parents and doctors – did not successfully violate the 14th amendment of the incident, which guarantees equal protection by law.
The plaintiffs tried to ban and argue that the law of Tennessis was known as SB1, discriminating against them on the basis of their sexual and gender.
Roberts, however, disagreed. He pointed out that this ban applies equally to young men and women.
He wrote, “SB1 does not provide sexual-based classification masks.” This law does not allow the other for one penis. Any minor girl under SB1 cannot be given adolescent blockers or hormones to treat gender dysforia, gender identification disorder or gender inconsistencies. “
Roberts also mention that youth blockers are available under the Tennessia law for congenital defects, early adolescence, disease or injury to children. He wrote that the application was not allowed to be regarded as sexual.
Roberts said, “SB1 does not exclude any person from medical treatment on the basis of transgender status but instead of the treatmentable conditions, gender dysforia, gender identification disorder and gender inconsistencies – removes a set of diagnosis,” Roberts said.
Hormone inhibitors are sometimes prescribed to delay the beginning of the transgender youth, which stop the development of secondary sexual characteristics such as breast, sound and facial hair.
LGBTQ lawyers say that in some cases such gender-adequate care is required to reduce the stress of such changes and then reduce the potential need for surgery. Youth blockers are widely considered safe and their consequences are temporarily considered.
But Roberts mentioned that some medical providers were pressuring the long -term effects of drugs and are drawing attention to the “open questions” in the medical field.
Roberts wrote, “Health officials in many European countries have expressed significant concerns about the potential damage related to using youth blockers and hormones to treat transgender minors,” Roberts wrote.
He further said, “Recent developments only underline the flexibility of the assembly in this field.
Due to the intense disagreement written by Justice Sonia Sotomoyer, the views of the majority were fulfilled. Transgender youths have high suicide, self -harm and bullying.
“Most of the logic and the example of saying otherwise, unimaginably declared that the obvious ban of Tennesscy must be maintained on Tennessee’s medical treatment as long as the ‘state of the fact of any suit’ will prove its justification,” Sotomoyer wrote.
“This is exactly the most important after withdrawing from a meaningful court review, the court released political waves to transgender children and their families.
She emphasized that in the United States’s medical community, there is that young blockers are “appropriate and medically necessary” in terms of extensive and clinical diagnosis of gender dysforia.
“Transgender teenage hormones and yawan blockers are not just a matter of cosmetic preference (known as gender-adaptation care),” Sotomoyore said. “On the contrary, care can be a question of life or death.”
She questioned why Tennesscy MPs should have the power to regulate medical decisions – and why you can use youth blockers to draw attention to issues such as unwanted facial hair in adolescent girls, but there is no sexual relationship between young people.
“Tennessee’s ban applies that the parents and doctors of the minor who thinks, without considering the intensity
The mental health of the minor or the extent to which a person’s child is medically required, “said Sotomoor.
Wednesday’s decision has come on an uncertain time for the transgender community in the United States.
Since returning to the post for the second term in January, US President Donald Trump has taken steps to limit the rights of transgender people. On the first day returned to the White House, the Republican leader issued a Executive order Announcing the federal government will only identify two sexes of men and women.
A few days later, on January 27, he issued another executive order and effectively set the stage The ban on the transgender army In the army. Trump condemned the transgender people as “false” sex identification “and” conflict with the commitment of soldiers related to honorable, true and disciplined lifestyle “.
Supreme Court The ban was retained Also. In June 6, the transgender forces marked the initial deadline for self -identifying themselves and voluntarily leaving the army.
In addition, Trump has called his administration Can prevent federal funds From schools that allow transgender girls and women To take part in women’s sports?? Those Decision Democratic Governor Janet Mills has promised to stand with Trump.
The fight on the ban on the Yauwan Blockers of Tennessee reached a wave Similar laws: According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACALU), about 25 states have banned gender-admission health care for transgender youth.
The group estimates that about 100,000 transgender leaves minors without access to the medical care they need.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday faced a lower court order for the ban on weight, but the appeal was pending by the sixth circuit court of appeal.
The ACAL pushed the Supreme Court’s decision but promised to file legal challenges. In StatementIt is stated that the Supreme Court did not overtake the extensive example that discrimination against transgender people is illegal.
“Today’s decision is a destructive loss for everyone who takes care of the LGBTQ and HIV project of the ACAL,” today’s decision is a devastating loss for everyone who cares for the transgender people, our families and the incident.
“We are as strong as usual to fight for the honor and equality of every transgender person.”
