ONGOING CASES
United States v. Skrmetti
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
On June 24, 2024, the Supreme Court agreed to hear oral arguments on this case and an analogous trans healthcare case in Kentucky, to take place on December 4, 2024. It is unclear how the Justices will rule on this issue; what is known, however, is that whatever decision the high Court delivers will have far-reaching consequences for trans people, especially trans children, for the foreseeable future.
B.P.J. v. West Virginia State Board of Education
FOURTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
On April 16, 2024, the Fourth Circuit ruled in favor of the plaintiff, a middle school-aged trans athlete and held that a West Virginia law prohibiting trans students from participating equally in school sports violated Title IX. On November 18, 2024, the Supreme Court denied defendants’ petition for review.
Poe v. Labrador
NINTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
On April 15, 2024, the Supreme Court temporarily revived an Idaho law banning gender-affirming care for transgender youth. This is the first time the justices have intervened in a case on this issue. The parties await a decision on the case's merits from the Idaho district court.
