This spring, the justices temporarily allowed Idaho to enforce a state ban that limited medical treatment for transgender youth. The law, passed by the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature, makes it a felony for doctors to provide transgender medical care for minors, including hormone treatment.
The decision in that case, which came to the justices as an emergency application, appeared to split largely along ideological lines, with the court’s liberals dissenting.
Along with Idaho, the justices had been asked to weigh in on legislation in Kentucky and Tennessee.
Considering the courts have largely been splitting along idealogical lines for medical care for transgender minors, I do not have a good feeling about this.

Trans rights are human rights.
