Several states have implemented bans or restrictions on transition-related medical care for minors, but measures in at least five of those states have been temporarily or permanently blocked from taking effect. A federal judge recently ruled Arkansas' ban on gender-affirming medical care for minors unconstitutional, making it the first ever ruling to overturn such a prohibition. The judge stated that the ban violated the Equal Protection Clause, parental rights, and physicians' First Amendment rights. Danielle Weatherby, a law professor at the University of Arkansas, discussed the legal challenges around these laws and their potential next steps.
