“Such a ruling not only could open the door for more states to enact similar limitations, but also might embolden the new Congress to pursue a federal law banning gender-affirming care,” he said. “If the court strikes down the ban, however, then it will be difficult for most, if not all, current limitations on gender-affirming care to continue because the laws would need to satisfy heightened scrutiny.”
