The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear oral argument on Dec. 4 in a major case that could alter how courts apply the Constitution and view legal disputes over social issues involving gender.

In U.S. v. Skrmetti, U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar is asking the high court to review an appeals court decision upholding Tennessee’s prohibition on so-called gender-affirming care for minors. Tennessee’s law forbids certain medical procedures, including surgeries, as well as administering hormones and puberty blockers.
