"DOJ Halts Alabama's Ban on Sex Changes for Minors, Protecting Rachel Levine"
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has intervened to protect Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Rachel Levine from being exposed in Alabama's litigation regarding its ban on transgender sex change procedures for minors. Alabama's attorney general requested Levine's records, believing she is a key advocate for sex changes in children with gender dysphoria. The DOJ tried to block the request and offered Levine's former subordinate for discovery instead. The DOJ claims the law is discriminatory against trans-identified youth, while Alabama defends its ban on prescribing puberty blockers or hormones to transgender children.
