On the American Academy of Pediatrics' Faulty Brief to the Supreme Court About Gender-Care Bans
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments for a landmark lawsuit that seeks to overturn Tennessee’s ban on pediatric gender-transition treatment. I will be there in person to hear arguments from ACLU and Justice Department attorneys as they seek to convince at least five justices that this ban amounts to sex discrimination violating the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. In a long-shot bid, they will also attempt to successfully argue that transgender children are a class warranting specific protection under that amendment.
