A federal appeals court lifted the delay on Alabama’s ban, allowing the state to enforce its law against giving minors puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones if they identify as transgender.
The law, signed in 2022, prohibits these treatments, citing potential irreversible effects such as heart problems and fertility issues.
“The physical and psychological safety of our children can now be better protected from these untested and life-altering chemical and surgical procedures through the implementation of the Alabama Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act,” Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said.

“This is a significant victory for our country, for children, and for common sense.”
“The plaintiffs have not presented any authority that supports the existence of a constitutional right to ‘treat [one’s] children with transitioning medications subject to medically accepted standards,’” Judge Barbara Lagoa wrote.
“Absent a constitutional mandate to the contrary, these types of issues are quintessentially the sort that our system of government reserves to legislative, not judicial, action,” Lagoa added.
The court’s decision favored Alabama over a group of parents with transgender-identifying children who challenged the law.
“Today’s ruling will hurt parents and children in the state. We will continue to challenge this unlawful ban and to support parents and their kids in pushing back against the dangerous reality of being denied access to necessary, best practice medical care,” the parents’ attorneys stated.
This ruling, affecting over 20 states, has sparked debate over the rights of parents and children in accessing necessary medical care for gender dysphoria.
