Part 3/9:
One of the most pressing recent issues has involved Tennessee's attempt to ban gender-affirming care for transgender children—a topic that the Supreme Court has prominently discussed. Finke emphasizes a crucial aspect of this debate: "Gender-affirming care is health care." She insists that health decisions should lie with families and healthcare providers, not politicians or judicial systems. This essential truth is overshadowed by discrimination based on identity, leading to relentless legal challenges around transgender healthcare that further alienate an already marginalized community.
