Tennessee's Protecting Children from Gender Muteilation Act prohibits transgender surgeries and hormones for minors. The DOJ sued the state on Wednesday, claiming that the ban violates the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. Republicans in Tennessee have argued that gender-confused children need mental health treatment, not surgery or puberty blockers. They also make the distinction between using something like puberty blockers for medical reasons as opposed to psychological or ideological reasons.
The DOJ is suing the state of Tennessee over a law that bans transgender surgeries for minors, House Republicans pass a bill that would raise the debt ceiling while slashing spending, and the nation's highest court hears the case of a 94 year old woman who’s home was seized and sold for a profit by the government after she missed tax payments.
