<p>Top Tennessee lawmakers and officials celebrated Wednesday after the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to uphold a law that bans transgender procedures on children in the Volunteer State, saying that it was a major victory for &#8220;common sense.&#8221;</p>
<p>In their ruling, the justices said that the law, which prohibits doctors from performing both surgical and hormonal procedures on minors, does not violate the 14th Amendment. Republican Governor Bill Lee signed it in March 2023.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;In today&#8217;s historic Supreme Court win, the common sense of Tennessee voters prevailed over judicial activism,&#8221; <a href="https://www.tn.gov/attorneygeneral/news/2025/6/18/pr25-37.html">said</a> Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti. &#8220;A bipartisan supermajority of Tennessee&#8217;s elected representatives carefully considered the evidence and voted to protect kids from irreversible decisions they cannot yet fully understand.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I commend the Tennessee legislature and Governor Lee for their courage in passing this legislation and supporting our litigation despite withering opposition from the Biden administration, LGBT special interest groups, social justice activists, the American Medical Association, the American Bar Association, and even Hollywood,&#8221; Skrmetti added. </span></p>
<p>The two Republican authors of the legislation, Senator Jack Johnson and Representative William Lamberth, also celebrated the decision, which was offered by Chief Justice John Roberts.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Today marks a significant milestone for the children of Tennessee and for all children across the nation,” Johnson <a href="https://x.com/SenJohnson/status/1935344745188049033" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “This ruling sends a strong message to the country that states have a clear right and path forward to protect children from irreversible body mutilation.”</span></p>
<p>Lamberth said the decision upheld the will of Tennesseans and aligned with most Americans&#8217; beliefs.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;For too long, the Left labeled these harmful drugs and barbaric procedures as ‘gender-affirming care,’ refusing to acknowledge they are unproven, irreversible and come with life-altering disfigurement. From the beginning, this law was about protecting vulnerable young people unable to provide informed consent to advice rooted in lies and radical ideology,&#8221; he said. </span></p>
<p>U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) <a href="https://x.com/MarshaBlackburn/status/1935356196921475137" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the decision was &#8220;fantastic news,&#8221; adding that &#8220;protecting children from mutilation is common sense.&#8221;</p>
<p>The passage of Tennessee&#8217;s law came after Daily Wire host Matt Walsh published an investigation into the Pediatric Transgender Clinic at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, showing it had removed the breasts of girls who identified as boys and prescribed cross-sex hormones to gender-confused children. Other parts of the investigation revealed that a doctor affiliated with the adult clinic boasted about how transgender procedures bring in a lot of money.</p>
<p>Walsh said Wednesday that the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision was a &#8220;<span style="font-weight: 400;">fatal blow to the child mutilation industry.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>&#8220;<span style="font-weight: 400;">Three years ago, we launched our investigation into Vanderbilt’s child mutilation practices,&#8221; he <a href="https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1935345883769430153" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;We rallied in the state capital. Our lawmakers responded with a law banning child mutilation in the state. Today the Supreme Court upheld our law, which means child mutilation can be banned anywhere and everywhere in the country. And should be. This is a truly historic victory and I’m grateful to be a part of it, along with so many others who have fought relentlessly for years.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>Top Trump administration officials also welcomed the decision from the court.</p>
<p>&#8220;I applaud today’s Supreme Court decision that allows states to protect vulnerable children from genital mutilation and other so-called &#8216;gender-affirming care&#8217; that leaves children permanently disfigured and scarred,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/AGPamBondi/status/1935362210638729531" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Attorney General Pam Bondi. &#8220;This Department of Justice will continue its fight to protect America’s children and parental rights. I encourage other states to follow Tennessee’s lead and enact similar legislation to protect our kids.&#8221;</p>
<p>Earlier this year, the Justice Department moved to drop the federal government&#8217;s opposition to Tennessee&#8217;s law, reversing course from the Biden administration.</p>
<p>&#8220;<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Supreme Court today rightly upheld a Tennessee state law to protect children from irreversible harm,” Secretary of Education Linda McMahon <a href="https://x.com/EDSecMcMahon/status/1935347078546219267" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “Great news as the Department of Education recognizes Title IX Month.”</span></p>
