Protests as Supreme Court hears case on transgender care for children under 18

People with signs accusing Supreme Court justices of misconduct take part in a demonstration outside the Court as it hears a case on gender-affirming care for transgender children in Washington, DC, on December 4, 2024. The Court is hearing oral arguments in the United States vs. Skirmetti, which challenges Tennessee's ban on transgender care for minors. The ruling could affect the 26 states that criminalize gender-affirming care for children. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
