Arkansas Ban on Child Sex Changes and Hormone Therapy Struck Down by Federal Judge

A federal judge has struck down Arkansas’ law banning gender affirming care for children.

The law was the first of it’s kind in the country.

U.S. District Judge Jay Moody issued a permanant injunction against the law. Moody had temporarily blocked the law in 2021. In order ering the permanant injunction, Moody ruled that the law violated the due process and equal protection rights of transgender youth and families and violated the first ammendment rights of medical providers.
