On Wednesday, members of the Supreme Court’s conservative majority appeared ready to uphold a Tennessee law denying puberty-delaying medication, hormone therapy, or gender-affirming surgery to transgender youth, a decision that will hold precedent in more than 20 other states with similar laws.
The argument touched on parental rights, a precedent protecting transgender people from workplace discrimination, and, critically, whether the law discriminated on the basis of sex, which would entitle it to a stricter standard of judicial scrutiny.
The justices seemed poised to strike down the sex-based discrimination argument and rule that because scientific evidence about the safety of transitionary care for minors is contested, the question should be decided by legislatures, not judges. Such a decision would leave these issues to the states to decide. The court isn’t expected to rule until June, but it comes at a time when transgender issues are at the center of America’s culture wars.

The US has paused Russian oil sanctions in a bid to stabilize energy markets rocked by the war with Iran. Administration officials stress that it’s a “tailored” measure, applying only to oil already loaded onto tankers, but it’s still a gift to Russia, which has already been clocking an extra $150 million daily in oil revenues since the war began.
