(Worthy News) – Federal judges in Kentucky and Tennessee temporarily blocked portions of bans on gender-transition care for transgender youth, handing down the rulings shortly before the statutes were set to go into effect.
The ruling is similar to roadblocks that federal courts have thrown up against Republican-dominant states in their pursuit to prevent young people from receiving transgender health care.
In both Kentucky and Tennessee, the judges blocked portions of the law that would have banned transgender youth from accessing puberty blockers and hormone therapy. In the Tennessee case, the judge stopped short of also blocking the ban on gender surgeries for youth. [ Source: NewsMax (Read More…) ]
