Families sue to block Idaho law barring gender-affirming care for minors

Two transgender teenagers and their families have filed a lawsuit against Idaho's ban on gender-affirming medical care for minors, which is set to take effect in January 2024. They argue that the ban violates federal constitutional guarantees of equal protection and due process.
The ban, signed into law in April, makes it a felony for doctors to provide puberty blockers, hormone treatment, and surgery for minors to align their bodies with their gender identities. The same treatments are allowed for other purposes.
At least 20 Republican-controlled states have enacted similar bans, most of which have been challenged in court.
