There was a clarifying moment late in Wednesday’s two-and-a-half-hour-long oral argument in United States v. Skrmetti, a history-making challenge to Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors.

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 ruling could set a precedent for several challenges to state laws regarding sports participation, bathroom use and health care for adults.
