On Writ of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals For the Sixth Circuit BRIEF OF AMICI CURIAE OF WILLIAMS INSTITUTE SCHOLARS IN SUPPORT OF PETITIONER AND RESPONDENTS IN SUPPORT OF PETITIONER ELANA REDFIELD DAVID S. [...] Herman studies the characteristics and experi- ences of the transgender population in the U. [...] The purpose of this brief is to pro- vide the Court with demographic data and analysis on the number of youth and adults who identify as transgender and are impacted by state-level prohibi- tions on puberty-blocking medication and gender-af- firming hormone therapy in the U. [...] Prior research has found that on measures re- garding healthcare access, there were no significant differences between 2015 USTS findings and those of a nationally representative sample of transgender adults.11 In other words, the findings from the 2015 USTS can be understood as representative of the ex- periences of a substantial number of transgender peo- ple in the U. [...] Scholars at the Williams Institute have conducted analyses of state laws affecting access to various forms of gender-affirming healthcare for both minors and adults, and the impact of such laws on transgender populations.12 We conclude that 110,300 youth who identify as transgender live in 24 states that ban access to puberty-blocking medication and gender-affirming hormone therapy in whole or in.
