Court hears arguments on Arkansas trans youth treatment ban

Associated Press  

An attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union urged a federal appeals court Wednesday to continue blocking Arkansas’ ban on gender confirming treatments or surgery for children, saying reinstating the restriction would create uncertainty for families around the state. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in the state’s appeal of the preliminary injunction issued last year against ban, which was enacted by the majority-Republican Legislature. “These gender transition procedures can be set apart from many of these long existing practices like cleft palate surgery because they are a very emerging area of medicine,” Deputy Solicitor General Dylan Jacobs told the court. The hearing came days after a Texas judge blocked the state from investigating families of transgender youth over gender medical confirming care they’ve received.
