Over the past three years, a rash of bans on best-practice medical care has swept the country. Now, more than three-quarters of transgender youth live in states that have introduced bans on their medical care, and more than one-third of trans youth live in states where these bans have been enacted. Civil rights lawyers have challenged these bans in more than a dozen lawsuits on behalf of trans youth and their families. Due to their litigation efforts and the support of the U.S. Department of Justice, trans youth will have their day in court on December 4, 2024, when the U.S. Supreme Court hears oral arguments in United States v. Skrmetti. Skrmetti will make history as the first time that an openly transgender lawyer will argue before the Supreme Court.
