The central issue the justices are considering is whether Tennessee’s law discriminates on the basis of sex.
If the court rules it doesn’t, then Tennessee’s law and similar restrictions in 25 other states would most likely stand.
Vienna Cavazos, 18, said the court will have blood on its hands if it decides Tennessee's law doesn't discriminate based on sex.
Yates said he wanted to attend oral arguments “because I support the trans community.”“This is f------ hate,” he said of Tennessee’s law.
Nadine Seiler, 59, said she traveled to the Supreme Court from Maryland to show solidarity with trans people.
