The Debate Over Transgender Rights And Gaza Residents Seek Medical Care in Kentucky, This West Virginia Morning

On this West Virginia Morning, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling just out upholds a state ban on gender affirming care for transgender minors. The Tennessee case is the most recent chapter in the culture war over LGBTQ rights. From the next episode of Us & Them, host Trey Kay hears from those shaping the debate over transgender rights.

And a mother and son from Gaza have spent two months in Louisville, Kentucky for medical care that would be nearly impossible to get back home. Louisville Public Media’s Amina Elahi shares this story via the Appalachia Mid-South Newsroom, a collaboration between NPR and several public radio stations in West Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky.
