WASHINGTON (June 26, 2025) – Last week the United States Supreme Court ruled on U.S. v Skrmetti, allowing Tennessee and other states to ban gender-affirming care for minors.
Critics view the decision as more than a ban on gender-affirming care, but a continuation of war on women, a major stepback for transgender rights, and harmful to the LGBTQ+ movement.
For more context on the matter, please consider Naomi Schoenbaum, William Wallace Kirkpatrick Dean’s Research Professor of Law at the George Washington University Law School. Schoenbaum is an expert on gender and the law, antidiscrimination law, and employment law. She recently authored The Supreme Court Just Revived One of the Worst Anti-Woman Rulings of All Time for Slate Magazine.
