Federal judges temporarily blocked an Arkansas law banning gender confirming treatments for transgender youth and a W Virginia ban on trans athletes in women's sports, two victories for LGBTQ advocates against a wave of restrictions approved by Republicans
Arkansas State Capitol building and grounds in Little Rock Arkansas. LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Federal judges on Wednesday temporarily blocked an Arkansas law banning gender confirming treatments for transgender youth and a West Virginia ban on trans athletes in women's sports, two major victories for LGBTQ advocates against a wave of restrictions approved by Republican legislators.
“To pull this care midstream from these patients, or minors, would cause irreparable harm,” Moody said. Becky Pepper-Jackson said she comes from a family of runners and simply wants to compete with her classmates. West Virginia’s law, signed by Republican Gov. Jim Justice in April, prohibits transgender athletes from competing in female sports in middle and high schools and colleges. A spokeswoman for the state Department of Education did not immediately response to an email requesting comment on the ruling., filing statements of interest siding with challengers to the restrictions. The DOJ said the laws in both states violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
