Kentucky's ban on gender-affirming care for young transgender people has taken effect after a Federal Judge lifted an injunction that had temporarily blocked the restrictions. The ruling prevents transgender minors from accessing puberty blockers and hormone therapy. Kentucky Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron welcomed the ruling, while transgender rights advocates criticized it, warning of immediate harm to young transgender people and their families. The lawsuit, filed by seven transgender children and their parents, argues that the law violates their constitutional rights and interferes with parental rights. At least 20 states have enacted similar laws, many of which are facing legal challenges.
