Attorneys for the state of Florida argued before a federal appeals court Wednesday that a lower-court judge was wrong to block a law last year that bans gender-affirming care for minors and restricts similar care for adults, though a pending U.S. Supreme Court case creates uncertainty.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments Wednesday in a case involving Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender people under age 18.

The Supreme Court is planning to weigh in on whether states can ban gender-affirming care for transgender minors.

A Florida mother tearfully testified that her family could be torn apart if the state's ban on trans health care for children is allowed to take effect.
