Public Counsel is proud to stand in solidarity with our transgender and gender-expansive communities 🏳️⚧️
We joined @transequalitynow, Wiley Rein LLP, and medical, psychological, and scientific experts in filing an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold Washington state’s protections for transgender youth in shelters.
Our brief draws on peer-reviewed research about gender identity development and the importance of supportive care in protecting young people’s health and well-being.
As our Senior Counsel Tara Ford emphasizes, decisions about young people’s health and care must be informed by science, not misinformation that puts their well-being at risk.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear International Partners for Ethical Care, Inc. v. Ferguson on December 7, 2026. We urge the Court to affirm the Ninth Circuit’s ruling that the plaintiffs lack standing to bring this challenge.
