The Trump administration has told the Supreme Court that the federal government no longer backs transgender minors and their families in Tennessee who are challenging a state ban on gender-affirming care.

While it was once rare for an administration to change its position in cases before the high court, Trump did so in his first term and has signaled he will do it again.

An administration lawyer said a Tennessee law barring some medical treatments for transgender youths is constitutional and urged the justices to say so.
