The Supreme Court's recent ruling permits states to ban gender-affirming care for minors, marking a crucial setback for trans rights amidst a backlash following a period of progress. The decision exemplifies the increasing politicization of trans health care in a polarized nation, where the right's claims of protecting trans youth contradict their actions against health care access. While the trans rights movement achieved visibility and rights over the past decade, current developments reflect a struggle against deep-seated societal prejudice and a healthcare system failing many, not just the trans community.
In the past decade, trans people have seen remarkable progress in both rights and visibility.
It was a stunning decision and a major setback for trans rights, but it was hardly a surprise.
