Supreme Court Tosses Lower Court Decisions on Transgender Procedures

The new ruling came after the high court upheld a Tennessee ban on transgender procedures for minors.

The Supreme Court on June 30 threw out several lower court rulings, directing judges to take a second look at their decisions in light of a recent ruling that upheld Tennesseeโ€™s ban on transgender procedures for minors.

Three of the casesโ€”from West Virginia, North Carolina, and Idahoโ€”concern whether a state may exclude transgender surgeries from coverage under various health insurance plans. A fourth case concerns whether Oklahoma is violating the U.S. Constitution by stating that birth certificates reflect a personโ€™s sex at birth.

The new orders were announced on the courtโ€™s order list.

On June 18, the Supreme Court upheld Tennesseeโ€™s ban on providing such interventions as cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers for minors experiencing gender dysphoria.

In a 6โ€“3 decision, the nationโ€™s highest court disagreed with the Biden administrationโ€™s argument that the law should face higher legal scrutiny than had been applied by an appeals court.
