The use of puberty blockers and hormones to treat children with gender dysphoria has been banned or restricted in 26 states.

Summary

The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Indiana’s law banning puberty blockers and hormones for transgender minors, aligning with similar laws in 26 GOP-led states.

Plaintiffs argued the law discriminates based on sex and interferes with parental rights to direct medical treatment for their children, but the 2-1 ruling dismissed these claims.

The court stated the law applies equally to all minors and parents don’t have unrestricted rights to medical treatments.

This decision comes as the Supreme Court prepares to review a similar Tennessee case, potentially setting a nationwide precedent.

    “A federal appeals court has upheld an Indiana law banning the use of puberty blockers and hormones for transgender children under the age of 18”

    Being trans isnt for everyone. It’s pure evil to let children take meds that will change their body chemicals forever… children are neither smart or wise enough to make such decisions.

    Yall should look into the detrans communities. They are very real and very important.
