"Seventh Circuit Upholds Indiana's Ban on Gender-Transitioning Treatments for Minors"

The US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago has ruled to stay the preliminary injunction on Indiana's ban on transition care for minors, allowing the law to take effect immediately. The law, known as SEA 480, prohibits physicians from providing minors with treatments such as puberty blocking medication, hormone therapy, and surgery intended to help transition genders. The ACLU expressed disappointment and vowed to continue challenging the law, while Indiana's Attorney General Todd Rokita applauded the ruling, stating that the ban on gender transition procedures for minors is a common-sense measure.
