Five transgender youths file suit saying Oklahoma health care ban is unconstitutional

Five Oklahoma transgender youths and their families have sued the state over a ban on gender-affirming health care, alleging the halt of puberty-blocking drugs, surgery and hormone treatments is a violation of their constitutional rights.

The families filed the lawsuit in a Tulsa federal court Tuesday, one day after Gov. Kevin Stitt signed Senate Bill 613, which immediately banned gender transition surgeries, along with a six-month phase-out of other drug and hormone treatments.

“We wanted to make sure we were ready as soon as possible because access to care changed immediately (with the governor’s signature),” said Megan Lambert, legal director for the ACLU of Oklahoma, which is part of the lawsuit.

The lawsuit, which claims the state's health care ban discriminates on the basis of sex and transgender status, lists dozens of state health boards and officials as defendants, including Attorney General Gentner Drummond.

"We are aware a complaint has been filed. We will review it and will defend the laws of the State of Oklahoma,” said Phil Bacharach, a spokesperson for Drummond’s office.

Good. This will establish the legal precedent. Parents don’t have a right to mutilate their children.

It wasn’t even much of a thing until the Left started
championing them.

Hey, Blacks are waking up after Trump. They see what the
Democrats have been doing to them. The Democrats are
desperate to create a new class of people they can openly
champion and sell out in-between elections.

Thanks. Yeah, that should be our policy also.

I think we’re headed back toward reality on this. I sure hope
so.

The general public isn’t buying it, and the NEA is just
destroying themselves as quickly as they can.
