A federal judge permanently blocked an Arkansas law this week that banned transgender procedures for minors, saying it violated the due process and equal protection rights for patients.
"I am disappointed in the decision that prevents our state from protecting our children against dangerous medical experimentation under the moniker of ‘gender transition,’" he wrote in a statement."Unfortunately, Judge Moody misses what is widely understood across the United States and in the United Kingdom and European countries: There is no scientific evidence that any child will benefit from these procedures, while the consequences are harmful and often permanent.
The ACLU had brought a lawsuit over the ban on behalf of four transgender youth and their families and two doctors.signed legislation to make it easier to sue providers of transgender procedures for children. The law takes effect later this summer. In a statement posted to her Twitter after the ruling, Sanders said"This is not ‘care’ – it’s activists pushing a political agenda at the expense of our kids and subjecting them to permanent and harmful procedures. Only in the far-Left’s woke vision of America is it not appropriate to protect children. We will fight this and the Attorney General plans to appeal Judge Moody’s decision to the Eighth Circuit.
Dylan Brandt, a transgender 17-year-old testified about receiving hormone therapy in the state before the ruling. "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," Brandt said in a statement released by the ACLU.restricting transgender procedures with some facing legal challenges.
