Supreme Court Ruling Sparks Trans Rights Protest, Arrests | JQJO

Nine organizers from the Gender Liberation Movement (GLM), including co-founder Raquel Willis, were arrested protesting the Supreme Court's decision upholding Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors. The 6-3 ruling deemed the law constitutional, despite it not applying to cisgender children. Following a two-hour detention, all were released without charges. GLM emphasized the medical necessity of such care and vowed continued activism against this and similar legislation impacting transgender rights and healthcare access more broadly.
