Federal Judges Block Laws Banning Transgender Healthcare for Minors

• Parents and advocates are suing states that have passed laws restricting access to gender-affirming care for transgender youth.
• Federal judges have issued temporary injunctions halting the enforcement of laws in Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina.
• The rulings argue that gender-affirming care is medically necessary for some trans youth and that banning it violates constitutional rights.
• Republican lawmakers claim the laws protect minors from life-altering decisions they may later regret, but critics argue they undermine parental rights and medical autonomy.
• The rulings are part of a larger effort to challenge legislation targeting LGBTQ individuals, with similar lawsuits filed in most states that have passed such laws.
