US EditionMontana judge blocks enforcement of law to ban gender-affirming medical care for minors
- A Montana law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors has been temporarily blocked by a state judge, who ruled that the law would likely harm the mental and physical health of minors with gender dysphoria.
- Transgender youth, their families, and healthcare providers argued that the law violated their constitutional rights to equal protection, the right to seek health, and the right to dignity. All 22 states that have enacted similar bans on gender-affirming medical care for minors are also facing lawsuits.
- The law sought to prohibit the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical treatments for gender dysphoria in transgender minors, but still allowed cisgender minors to receive certain treatments. Allowing the ban to take effect would cause irreparable harm to transgender minors.
