![Screenshot 2 from SCOTUS Skermetti decision. Alito does not join in part. Continues from screenshot 1. Text reads: "would reject the plaintiffs’ argument for a different reason:
because neither transgender status nor gender identity
should be treated as a suspect or “quasi-suspect” class.

I will not dwell on the question whether SB1 classifies on
the basis of transgender status or gender identity because,
in the end, I do not think that the answer to that question
has any effect on the outcome of this case. But the argu-
ment that SB1 classifies on those grounds cannot easily be
dismissed. As noted, the law prohibits medical procedures
that are intended either to “[e]nabl[e] a minor to identify
with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the
minor’s sex,” or to “[t]rea[t] purported discomfort or distress
from a discordance between the minor’s sex and asserted
identity.” Tenn. Code Ann. §§68–33–103(a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B).
Therefore, the underlying basis for the classification is a
minor’s intent to express a gender identity different from
the minor’s biological sex. If being “transgender” is defined
as “hav[ing] a gender identity that differs from . . . sex,” see
Brief for Respondents in Support of Petitioner 4, then the
intent to “identify with, or live as, a purported identity in-
consistent with” one’s sex would appear to be the natural
result or consequence of being transgender.
The Court nonetheless concludes that SB1 does not clas-
sify based on transgender status, and in doing so, it relies
chiefly on our decision in Geduldig, 417 U. S. 484. Ante, at
16–17. The dissent responds by denigrating Geduldig and
contending that the decision should be discarded.4 Post, at
23–24 (opinion of SOTOMAYOR, J.).
I would not enter into this debate about SB1’s classifica-
tion scheme. I would assume for the sake of argument that
SB1 classifies on the basis of transgender status and move"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qlavdubfuv22wrazntp4ws6p/bafkreib3oz7xydvezakfbb25myzj7jf7slmlfsllcum5drr3qosybqle7i)
