A federal appeals court on Tuesday allowed Indiana’s ban on gender-affirming care to go into effect, removing a temporary injunction a judge issued last year.
The ruling was handed down by a panel of justices on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. It marked the latest decision in a legal challenge the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana filed against the ban, enacted last spring amid a national push by GOP-led legislatures to curb LGBTQ+ rights.
Gender affirming care covers a broad range of care, not just medical injections and surgery.
Puberty blockers are very reversible, its extremely uncommon to have long term affects once someone stops taking them
Going through puberty as their assigned gender is difficult to reverse and should be a decision that they make when they’re more mature too right?
Detransioners are actually very rare, so its rarely a “rash decision” and to prevent that we should give doctors better training to give these kids better information so they can make good decisions, rather than preventing all of these kids from getting healthcare they need.
Not to mention cis kids can be given hormone blockers for things like precocious puberty. This law WILL hurt them as well.
This is a very comprehensive and accurate answer. Thank you!
