evidence: Notably, the Biden administration has taken its support for gender-affirming care for trans youth all the way to the Supreme Court. The court has agreed to take up the question of whether gender-affirming care bans for trans youth are unconstitutional, in response to the Biden administration petitioning on behalf of trans youth and their families. The administration’s stance against laws that ban gender-affirming care for trans youth — which includes bans on surgeries — appears to remain the same. "As President Biden has repeatedly said, ‘It’s wrong that extreme officials are pushing hateful bills targeting transgender children, terrifying families, and criminalizing doctors. These are our kids. These are our neighbors. It’s cruel and it’s callous,’" the spokesperson said, quoting a statement that Biden made last summer in response to rising anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. [...] The Biden administration has previously put out multiple statements in support of gender-affirming care for trans youth. The White House has stated that "transgender children have the right to access gender-affirming health care" and has promoted resources on gender-affirming care for trans youth, including an explainer written by the HHS that discusses when and how puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgeries are received by minors.
