Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti has issued a statement following the Supreme Court's decision to grant certiorari in the case United States v. Skrmetti. The case concerns Tennessee's law on gender treatments for minors.

"We fought hard to defend Tennessee's law protecting kids from irreversible gender treatments and secured a thoughtful and well-reasoned opinion from the Sixth Circuit," said Skrmetti. "I look forward to finishing the fight in the United States Supreme Court. This case will bring much-needed clarity to whether the Constitution contains special protections for gender identity."

The outcome of this case could have significant implications for similar laws across various states, as it addresses fundamental questions regarding constitutional protections related to gender identity.
