A forthcoming Supreme Court decision in a case known as United States v. Skrmetti could significantly weaken lawsuits challenging President Donald Trump’s recent executive orders related to transgender procedures for minors.

If the Supreme Court eventually rules to uphold Tennessee’s Senate Bill 1, a state ban on gender-affirming care for minors, it could erode the constitutional arguments central to challenges against Trump’s transgender-related executive orders, many of which rely on 14th Amendment equal protection claims.
