In this clip from the Average Intelligence Podcast, we break down the proposed ban on gender-affirming care, why it’s likely to be challenged under the Equal Protection Clause, and how Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act could make it unconstitutional.
💡 The courts have already interpreted discrimination “based on sex” to include gender identity — meaning this executive order may violate existing federal protections.
Join us as we unpack the legal reality vs. political optics of Trump’s early executive actions, and what this could mean for constitutional law in 2025.
