The Supreme Court declined to rule on a case involving an Indiana couple who lost custody of their transgender teenage daughter. The parents, Mary and Jeremy Cox, argued that their religious beliefs clashed with their child’s gender identity, but the state maintained that custody was lost due to the necessity of addressing the teen’s severe eating disorder, not the parents’ beliefs. The court’s decision not to intervene has implications for future cases involving conflicts between parents and children over gender identity.
