Summary
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Indiana’s law banning puberty blockers and hormones for transgender minors, aligning with similar laws in 26 GOP-led states.
Plaintiffs argued the law discriminates based on sex and interferes with parental rights to direct medical treatment for their children, but the 2-1 ruling dismissed these claims.
The court stated the law applies equally to all minors and parents don’t have unrestricted rights to medical treatments.
This decision comes as the Supreme Court prepares to review a similar Tennessee case, potentially setting a nationwide precedent.
We’re in Indiana. One of my daughter’s close friends is trans. The school system treats him like shit already. He has to change with the girls and use the girls’ bathroom. Once, a girl was being a bigot to him over and over and he finally lost it and slapped her. He got in trouble, she did not.
I wish I could help him somehow. He’s such a sweet kid.
Trans erasure in action.
I hope denying healthcare to children was worth owning the libs.
They didn’t give a shit about children getting slaughtered in schools for decades. They won’t start caring now.
These are children they would be happy with just dying because they’re “choosing” to be queer “against the will of god.”
Much like book bans in school libraries that have moved to city libraries and all the other bans that started in schools, this will soon move from bans on children getting healthcare, to bans on adults getting healthcare once they use the “save the children” rhetoric to make their followers comfortable with the prejudices in general.
Yeah, Missouri tried to include adults with autism from getting gender care.
Yeah, that’s one reason I’ll never get an official Autism diagnosis. The misinformation about autism that politicians work with is gross. I mostly blame the companies like Autism Speaks who present it as a disease to be cured so parents don’t feel bad about making their kids mask rather than most forms being simply a sociologically induced disability because people are too lazy to adapt and too many exploitative social practices exist that neurotypicals can adapt to easily, but many neurodivergent people can’t and they don’t want to give up the exploitation.
Absolutely. The plan is no more gender affirming care for trans people period.
Shithole state. I’m SO glad my family is getting an opportunity to get the fuck out of here before Mike Braun fucks it even harder.

Like gender identity interacts with the chemistry of the drug somehow? Is it safe if the kid is cis and it is not when the kid is trans? Is there some (well) materialism in gender identity or is this philosophical dualism of some sort?
The prescribed use is to suppress the development of sex features by blocking sex hormones, so how is it different?
This is just fear mongering.
Should have voted for Biden!
“A federal appeals court has upheld an Indiana law banning the use of puberty blockers and hormones for transgender children under the age of 18”
Being trans isnt for everyone. It’s pure evil to let children take meds that will change their body chemicals forever… children are neither smart or wise enough to make such decisions.
Yall should look into the detrans communities. They are very real and very important.
What is evil is denying trans people healthcare you jackass.
