US EditionNorth Carolina family, doctor sue to block state’s gender-affirming health care ban
- A transgender boy's family in North Carolina is suing state health officials to prevent their son from undergoing a traumatic wrong-gender puberty, stating that the new law violates the Equal Protection Clause and parents' rights to make medical decisions for their children.
- Transgender youth in North Carolina lost access to gender-affirming medical treatments when the state banned hormone therapy, puberty-blocking drugs, and surgical gender-transition procedures for anyone under 18. The law discriminates against transgender patients as it doesn't create a blanket ban and restricts these treatments only when performed "for the purpose of gender transition."
- At least 22 states have enacted laws restricting or banning transgender youth treatments, leading to lawsuits challenging those laws. In Montana, plaintiffs are challenging a law defining "sex" as only male or female.
