The Biden administration is challenging Tennessee’s newly passed law banning gender-transition drugs and surgeries for children, accusing the state of illegal discrimination based on “transgender status.”
lawsuit, filed Wednesday, seeks to block Senate Bill 1 before it takes effect July 1, alleging that the measure “denies medical care to youth based solely on who they are,” violating the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said that he and Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti would fight to uphold the legislation, which the Republican governor signed into law March 2. The bill prohibits a “healthcare provider from performing on a minor or administering to a minor a medical procedure if the performance or administration of the procedure is for the purpose of enabling a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor’s sex.”
