A new ruling from an appeals court means that that transgender children in Arkansas can continue to receive gender-affirming care from their doctors.
The appellate court ruled on Thursday to uphold Moody’s injunction.
“Because the minor’s sex at birth determines whether or not the minor can receive certain types of medical care under the law, Act 626 discriminates on the basis of sex,”“The Eighth Circuit was abundantly clear that the state’s ban on care does not advance any important governmental interest and the state’s defense of the law is lacking in legal or evidentiary support,”Arkansas was the first state in the U.S. to ban gender-affirming care for minors.
