America’s gold-standard media outlets have largely ignored one of the most egregious medical scandals in our nation’s history

At least 13,000 American children between the ages of 13 and 18 received some form of “gender-affirming care” from licensed medical providers in the U.S. Last month the United States Supreme Court heard a case that could decide the government’s constitutional authority to ban these practices.

The case — United States v. Skrmetti — has already led to increased media attention on an under-reported topic.

The Post editorial board agreed states have an interest in protecting children from harmful medical practices and the lack of evidence to support “gender-affirming care” justifies more regulation.
