President-elect Donald Trump, who ran for a second term, focused on ending what he referred to as 'transgender craziness.' He specifically criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for supporting the use of 'they/them' pronouns by transgender and non-binary individuals.

The Skrmetti appeal, a case likely to still be pending at the Supreme Court when Trump assumes office on January 21, has garnered attention. If the incoming Justice Department decides to change its stance on the case, it could potentially lead to the Supreme Court dismissing the appeal. However, given that the case has been fully briefed and argued, there is a possibility that the court may proceed as planned.

Pratik Shah, a seasoned Supreme Court attorney working with the ACLU on behalf of the transgender clients involved in the case, noted that such developments are not uncommon. He emphasized that any potential changes should not impact the court's ability or process for reaching a decision on the matter.
