Abstract

The article focuses on the U.S. Supreme Court case concerning whether Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors under Senate Bill 1 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Topics include the state's justification for regulating medical procedures based on age and use, the legal standards for identifying discriminatory classifications, and the argument that SB 1 does not create a sex-based classification warranting heightened judicial scrutiny.
