Abstract
The article discusses the potential risks faced by young people if the US Supreme Court upholds state bans on gender-affirming care, focusing on Tennessee's complete ban on such care. It highlights the medical risks and harms associated with these bans, arguing that they may violate the equal-protection doctrine of the Constitution by discriminating based on sex. The article emphasizes the importance of preserving gender-affirming care for positive health outcomes and warns against the potential negative consequences of denying access to such treatments.
