GOP Tennessee AG reacts to oral arguments in Supreme Court transgender rights case: 'Feel really good'
Fox News
Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti and Dr. Jared Ross share their takeaways from oral arguments in a Supreme Court case over transgender treatment.
Tennessee Senate Bill 1 (SB1) prohibits all medical treatments intended to allow "a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor’s sex" or to treat "purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor’s sex and asserted identity." Ashley Carnahan is a writer at Fox News Digital.
"We felt great about putting on a strong case for Tennessee's law. It is an evidence-based law. It is a bipartisan supermajority of the Tennessee legislature that adopted this," said Skrmetti Wednesday on "The Ingraham Angle."
Dr. Jared Ross, a senior fellow at the Do No Harm medical advocacy group, argued there's no consensus about allowing minors to use hormone therapy and puberty blockers or undergo gender surgery.
