Chief Justice Roberts upholds Tennessee's ban on transgender care

Chief Justice Roberts upheld Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, leaving transgender youth vulnerable while avoiding broader legal precedents. The Supreme Court ruling, issued Wednesday, affirmed the state's authority to restrict care like puberty blockers and hormone therapy. Roberts avoided endorsing broader conservative arguments, emphasizing that policy decisions should be left to elected officials. Liberal justices dissented, criticizing the court's inaction and arguing it leaves transgender youth unprotected, especially given recent political actions by the current administration.
