The Department of Justice announced on Wednesday that it has filed a lawsuit challenging Tennessee’s new law banning gender-affirming treatments for minors
The DOJ said that SB1 violates the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause by denying “necessary medical care to youth” based on transgender status.
“The right to consider your health and medically-approved treatment options with your family and doctors is a right that everyone should have, including transgender children, who are especially vulnerable to serious risks of depression, anxiety and suicide,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney General Kristen Clarke in a press release.
The DOJ argues that the treatments are medically necessary for transgender youth diagnosed with gender dysphoria and that the banned care has been “recommended by major medical associations for consideration in limited circumstances in accordance with established and comprehensive guidelines and standards of care.” The department is asking the court for to issue an immediate order to stop the law from going into effect on July 1.
