For the first time in the history of the Supreme Court, it is willing to hear a legal challenge regarding gender-affirming care for minors.
As Pride Month drew to a close, the Supreme Court made a shocking announcement. For the first time in the history of the court, it is willing to hear a legal challenge regarding gender-affirming care for minors. The justices will review whether a 2023 Tennessee law, SB1, which bans hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and surgery for transgender minors, is unconstitutional. This is the first time the Supreme Court will directly weigh in on gender-affirming care.
Before I highlight these recommendations and the ensuing controversy, it is imperative to establish proper terminology. Unfortunately, medical and legal terms often differ. Both activists and opponents use these terms interchangeably, which makes discourse about an already emotionally charged topic extremely difficult. From a legal perspective, the terms"minor" and"child" often refer to individuals under the age of majority. In the United States, the age of majority is 18.
According to the updated SOC8, the only acceptable gender-affirming intervention for children is psychosocial support.This does not include puberty blockers, hormones, or surgery, but rather allowing a child to explore their gender identity by experimenting with different clothing, toys, hairstyles, and even an alternative name that aligns more closely with their gender identity.
In a cohort study conducted between 2016 to 2020, 48,019 patients were identified who had undergone gender-affirming surgery.Only 3678 or 7.7% of patients were aged between 12 and 18, with the most common procedure being chest/breast surgery.During 2020 alone, the number of cisgender adolescents between the ages of 13 and 19 who underwent breast augmentation and breast reduction was 3233 and 4666, respectively.
