The Justice Department announced Monday that it dropped its lawsuit over a law banning transgender procedures for minors, a month after the Supreme Court upheld the ban.
The Supreme Court ruled on the lawsuit last month, with a 6-3 majority upholding Tennessee’s law prohibiting the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical procedures to treat gender dysphoria and related conditions in minors. The majority of justices rejected the argument from activists and the Biden DOJ that Tennessee’s Senate Bill 1 violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
