MONTGOMERY, Ala. — A federal appeals court ruled Monday that Alabama can enforce a ban outlawing the use of puberty blockers and hormones to treat transgender children, the second such appellate victory for gender-transition care restrictions that have been adopted by a growing number of Republican-led states.

A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals lifted a judge’s temporary injunction against enforcing the law. The judge has scheduled trial for April 2 on whether to permanently block the law.

The ruling follows a string of decisions in recent weeks against similar bans. A federal judge in June struck down a similar law in Arkansas, the first state to enact such a ban. At least 20 states enacted laws restricting or banning gender-affirming care for minors.

The 11th Circuit. This bodes well for an appeal of the ruling recently made in Georgia.

Must be 21 to buy alcohol and tobacco. Only reasonable to ban damaging hormones from minors.

Strictly a 10A issue...

Fedzilla has no say, because the Constitution is silent on the matter.
