The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for trans minors in a blockbuster ruling that will bolster efforts by conservative state lawmakers to pass and preserve other divisive laws targeting transgender Americans.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld Tennessee's ban on gender transition treatments for transgender minors in a case brought by a Nashville family.
