WASHINGTON — The US Supreme Court’s current term includes cases involving guns, gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors, online pornography, religious rights, TikTok, preventive healthcare, Planned Parenthood funding, job discrimination, federal regulatory powers on nuclear waste storage and vape products, voting rights and more.

Here is a look at some of the cases already decided and still to be decided by the justices.

Transgender rights

The court’s conservative justices indicated their willingness to uphold a Republican-backed ban in Tennessee on gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors during arguments on Dec 4 in a major case that could affect various other state laws targeting transgender people.

Joe Biden’s administration appealed a lower court’s decision upholding Tennessee’s ban on medical treatments including hormones and surgeries for minors experiencing gender dysphoria.

That refers to the significant distress that can result from incongruity between a person’s gender identity and the sex they were assigned at birth. A ruling is expected by the end of June.

The court on Oct 8 heard arguments over the legality of a 2022 federal regulation devised by the Biden administration to crack down on “ghost guns,” largely untraceable firearms whose use has proliferated in crimes.

A lower court found that the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives exceeded its authority in issuing the rule targeting parts and kits for ghost guns, which can be assembled at home in minutes.

The justices during the arguments signaled a willingness to uphold the regulation. A ruling is expected by the end of June.
