The Supreme Court hears oral arguments on the ability of states to restrict treatments for minors whose gender identity doesn't align with their sex assigned at birth.

The Supreme Court appeared likely to back a divisive Tennessee law that bans gender-affirming care for minors after more than two hours of oral arguments on Wednesday in which the court delved into a culture war battle that has become even more politically fraught since the election.
