The appeals court ruled that Indiana's law banning gender-affirming care for minors is constitutional, emphasizing that it falls within legislative duties and does not infringe upon rights.
Judge Brennan dismissed claims of discrimination, stating that the law does not unfairly target transgender youth compared to cisgender kids receiving other medical treatments.
Though ACLU contended this law violates parental rights, the court found that the legislation's scope of care for transgender minors is within the purview of state lawmakers.
After the original injunction was lifted, gender-affirming treatments are now banned in Indiana for minors, raising concerns about the medical and psychological impacts on the affected youth.
