Federal judge blocks much of Indiana’s ban on gender-transition care for minors
(Worthy News) – A federal judge issued an order Friday stopping an Indiana ban on puberty blockers and hormones for transgender minors from taking effect as scheduled July 1.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana sought the temporary injunction in its legal challenge of the Republican-backed law, which was enacted this spring amid a national push by GOP-led legislatures to curb LGBTQ+ rights.
The order from U.S. District Court Judge James Patrick Hanlon will allow the law’s prohibition on gender-transition surgeries to take effect. Hanon’s order also blocks provisions that would prohibit Indiana doctors from communicating with out-of-state doctors about gender-transition care for their patients younger than 18.
