The Supreme Court agreed in June to hear the case, L.W. v. Skrmetti , as Republican lawmakers in dozens of states have introduced bills to restrict gender-affirming care for minors and, in some states, adults on Medicaid .
So far, 26 states, including Tennessee , have adopted such measures.
Among the signatories of the amicus brief are eight former members of Congress .
Some legal experts fear that a Supreme Court decision in favor of Tennessee ’s law could be the first step at undermining key arguments used in Bostock v. Clayton County .
More than 160 Democratic members of Congress filed a separate amicus brief to the court calling Tennessee 's law “unscientific” and “dangerous”.
