Several media outlets reported after the oral arguments that the Supreme Court seemed likely to uphold Tennessee law.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced that his office would protect “the rights and health of transgender people to receive medically necessary treatment.”

Bonta said this after the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments about Tennessee’s Senate Bill 1 on Wednesday. This bill prohibits minors from getting hormone and puberty blocking drugs, as well as surgery to identify them as “a purported gender inconsistent with their sex.”

Bonta stated that laws such as Tennessee Senate Bill 1 were dangerous and discriminatory because they denied transgender children the life-saving, critical care they needed.

1776 Coalition Sponsored Is Israel’s fate tied to Syria? Syria has fallen, but we are still far from seeing the last of the hostages returned. Our brave soldiers must fight to secure Israel’s borders, rid the region of emboldened attackers all over the Middle East, and adapt to the escalating threats from Syria, but Israel doesn’t have enough supplies to properly win this war. Can you support our IDF sons and daughters as they continue fighting for the Survival of the Promised Land?.

He added: “With a wave of legislation attacking LGBTQ+ rights on the rise, it’s more important than ever that we stand up against these harmful measures.” “I urge the Supreme Court, to protect the transgender rights of youth and to ensure that they do not deny them the care and support they need to lead full and authentic life.”

Several media outlets reported after the oral arguments that the Supreme Court seemed likely to uphold Tennessee law.

Jonathan Skrmetti, Tennessee Attorney General, said that the General Assembly should decide the fate of the Supreme Court case.

Skrmetti, in a written statement following the conclusion of the oral arguments, said that Tennessee’s General Assembly had reviewed medical evidence and the evidence-based decision making process in European countries which restricted these procedures. The plaintiffs are asking that the court take away the power of the elected representatives to regulate medicine and give it to unaccountable courts.

Bonta, along with 19 other state attorneys-general, filed an amicus in the U.S. V. Skrmetti Case, urging Supreme Court to overturn Senate Bill 1

The Center Square reported that at least 2,024 California minors underwent sex reassignment between 2019 and 2023. It was the highest number of sex reassignment procedures in the United States for a single state. Nearly $ 29 million was charged to families who underwent these procedures.

The average cost of medical interventions per child is estimated at $14,300.

The data was collected by Do No Harm, which is a group of physicians, nurses and medical students as well as policymakers and patients who are committed to keeping identity politics away from medical education, clinical practice and research.

DNH data indicates that three of the twelve hospitals in California performing these procedures are among the top 12.
