In state after state, conservative lawmakers this year have banned medical procedures for transgender youth. Now, a growing number of federal judges are blocking those laws from taking effect.
U.S. district court judges have halted such laws in six states - Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana,
Many conservative lawmakers have endorsed the laws as part of an effort to defend traditional values and portray Democrats as out of touch on issues of sex and religion. Judges, including three appointed by Republican former President Donald Trump, have found that gender-affirming care is medically necessary for transgender youth suffering from gender dysphoria - the stress caused by the divergence between one's gender identity and sex assigned at birth.
Supporters of the laws are undeterred, saying the courts have erred and that the prevailing medical consensus will change.
