(Worthy News) – A federal judge on Tuesday struck down Arkansas’s ban on transgender-related treatments for minors, including hormone treatments, puberty blockers, or sex reassignment surgeries.
After previously issuing a temporary injunction on the ban, U.S. District Judge Jay Moody upgraded the block to a permanent injunction in the Tuesday order, according to the Associated Press.
