Federal judges in Kentucky and Tennessee on Wednesday blocked state laws prohibiting the use of puberty-blocking drugs and hormones for transgender children from taking effect while lawsuits challenging the bans proceed.
They are the latest in a series of similar rulings around the country, with laws in seven states now prevented from taking effect.
But families filing lawsuits have argued the treatments are medically necessary and the bans violate the U.S. Constitution's right to equal protection by prohibiting medical treatments on the basis of sex, as well as parents' right to make medical decisions for their children. He said that the plaintiffs — including six children currently receiving treatments that would be banned by the law, and one who expects to receive such treatments in the future — would be harmed if the law were allowed to take effect.
"Today's misguided decision by a federal judge tramples the right of the General Assembly to make public policy," Cameron said.
