Several families in Georgia sued the state on Thursday over its ban on certain gender-affirming treatments for transgender youth, launching a last-minute effort to block the prohibitions just hours before it’s set to take effect
The law signed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in March bars licensed medical professionals in Georgia from providing patients under the age of 18 with hormone therapy or surgery related to gender transition. Violations of the legislation could lead to the revocation of a health practitioner’s license. The ban takes effect on July 1. Gender-affirming care spans a range of evidence-based treatments and approaches that benefit transgender and nonbinary people.
The lawsuit argues that Georgia’s law violates the Due Process Clause and Equal Protection Clause of the US Constitution. The plaintiffs are asking a federal judge to order state officials not to enforce the prohibitions as their lawsuit unfolds, as well as declare it unconstitutional. “If the Ban is not enjoined, Plaintiffs will suffer immediate and irreparable harm.
