A Tennessee law prohibiting doctors from providing medical care such as puberty-blockers and gender affirming surgery for transgender minors can go into effect immediately, a U.S. appeals court ruled Saturday.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit said advocacy groups that had challenged Tennessee's law could not show they were likely to prevail on their claims it violated the U.S. Constitution. The panel of three judgesto reverse a lower court's decision that had blocked Tennessee from enforcing the law while it was being challenged.
Neither the advocacy groups that challenged the law nor the state's attorney general could be reached Saturday morning. It bans any medical procedure performed for the purpose of enabling a minor to identify with a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth. The appeals court's decision Saturday said that absent a clear showing that Tennessee's law violated the Constitution, choices about medical care and protecting minors are best settled by state legislatures.
