A US judge struck down an Arkansas law prohibiting doctors from providing transgender-related medical treatment including puberty blockers, hormones and surgery to transgender minors, a victory for families that had sued to challenge the law.
"The evidence showed that improves the mental health and well-being of patients and that, by prohibiting it, the state undermined the interests it claims to be advancing," U.S. District Judge James Moody in Little Rock wrote in an order barring the state from enforcing the law.
Moody had last year blocked enforcement of the law in a preliminary order while he considered the case. "I'm so grateful the judge heard my experience of how this health care has changed my life for the better and saw the dangerous impact this law could have on my life and that of countless other transgender people," plaintiff Dylan Brandt, a 17-year-old transgender boy, said in a statement issued by the American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing Brandt and his mother.
Arkansas in 2021 became the first U.S. state to ban transgender-related medical treatment for minors. The Republican legislature passed the ban over the veto of then-Gov. Asa Hutchinson, also a Republican.. The measures have been challenged in court, and have so far been fully or partially blocked in states including Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama, Indiana and Florida.

U.S. District Judge Jay Moody ruled Tuesday that the nation’s first ban on such care for children violates the U.S. Constitution. Moody in 2021 had temporarily blocked the state from enforcing its ban while he considered the challenge to the measure. The law prohibited doctors from providing gender-affirming hormone treatment, puberty blockers or surgery to anyone under 18. It also prohibited doctors from referring patients elsewhere from such care. The ban had been widely criticized by medical groups.
