Federal appeals court upholds bans on transgender procedures for minors in Tennessee and Kentucky

A federal appeals court has upheld bans in Tennessee and Kentucky that prohibit transgender procedures for minors.
The ruling overturns previous summer rulings that had temporarily suspended the bans due to lawsuits.
The attorneys general of Tennessee and Kentucky have celebrated the ruling as a victory for protecting vulnerable children.
Over 20 states have now adopted similar laws barring transgender medical procedures for minors.
Advocates have vowed to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
