Federal Judges Block Kentucky and Tennessee's Transgender Youth Care Bans

A federal judge has temporarily blocked a Kentucky state law that would ban the prescription and administration of puberty blockers and hormone therapy for transgender individuals under 18. The judge ruled that the plaintiffs were likely to succeed in their challenge to the law on constitutional grounds. The law, known as Senate Bill 150, also includes restrictions on school policies and bathroom usage for transgender students. This ruling is part of a larger wave of laws targeting transgender rights across the United States.

Missouri Lifts Restrictions on Transgender Care for Minors and Adults

Missouri has ended an emergency rule that would have limited gender-affirming care for minors and some adults in the state. The rule would have required minors and adults to undergo over a year of therapy and reach other requirements before being allowed to receive access to gender-affirming care like puberty blockers, surgeries and hormones. The move to end the rule comes after lawmakers in Missouri passed a bill last week that would ban minors getting such care in the state. The legislature also approved a bill last week that would ban trans athletes from competing on female sports teams, outlawing it in both public and private schools.
