A Federal Court Upheld A State Ban On Gender ‘Medicine’ For Minors

Its Opinion Shows Why These Laws Will Stand

Sarah Parshall Perry

Like roughly 20 other states in the nation, Tennessee’s legislature recently passed a law prohibiting state healthcare providers from performing “gender-affirming” surgeries and administering hormones or puberty blockers to anyone under the age of 18. But, like many of those other states, Tennessee was preliminary enjoined from enforcing its law by a district court that found it likely violated the Constitution.

A few days later, however, the Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals struck down the lower court’s injunction, allowing the Volunteer State to continue to enforce its gender “medicine” ban for minors. In its opinion, the court made it clear that the house of gender is built on sinking sand. To the relief of gender ideology critics and sound thinking people everywhere, the court made the case that the sprint to transition minors across America has to stop.
