The ruling comes as even more states are poised to enact bans on care for transgender youth. The ACLU challenged the law on behalf of four transgender youth and their families and two doctors. “Science, medicine, and law are clear: gender-affirming care is necessary to ensure these young Arkansans can thrive and be healthy.” Fear-mongering and misinformation about this health care do not hold up to scrutiny it hurts trans youth and must end,” said Holly Dickson, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas. The ruling affects only the Arkansas ban but may carry implications for the fates of similar prohibitions, or discourage attempts to enact them, in other states.
