Families end challenge to Alabama ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors

  • Families in Alabama dropped their 2022 federal lawsuit challenging the state's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors.
  • The challenge arose because the Alabama law criminalizes providing puberty blockers or hormones to people under 19, with penalties up to 10 years in prison.
  • An injunction initially blocked the law, but a 2024 appeals court ruling allowed the state to enforce it, prompting the families to end their lawsuit without explanation.
  • Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall described the conclusion of the case as a positive result for the state and its families, while plaintiff groups highlighted the difficult and deeply personal decisions families had to face because of the ban.
  • The dismissal leaves ongoing uncertainty as the U.S. Supreme Court plans to decide soon on a similar Tennessee ban affecting transgender youth care.
