The state of Alabama just won a big victory in court against the transgender mafia. The 11th Circuit just overturned an injunction on the law the state passed last year that banned transgender puberty blockers and hormones for minors.
The ruling by the 11th Circuit is ahead of a trial set for next year to determine whether to permanently ban the law.
Here’s more from Washington Times:
A federal appeals court ruled Monday that Alabama can enforce a ban outlawing the use of puberty blockers and hormones to treat transgender children, the second such appellate victory for gender-transition care restrictions that have been adopted by a growing number of Republican-led states.
A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals lifted a judge’s temporary injunction against enforcing the law. The judge has scheduled trial for April 2 on whether to permanently block the law.
The ruling follows a string of decisions in recent weeks against similar bans. A federal judge in June struck down a similar law in Arkansas, the first state to enact such a ban. At least 20 states enacted laws restricting or banning gender-affirming care for minors.
The ruling applies to only the Alabama ban, but comes as most of the state bans are being challenged in court.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed the Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act into law in 2022, making it a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for doctors to treat people under 19 with puberty blockers or hormones to help affirm their gender identity.
This ruling is a great indication that the 11th Circuit believes the state of Alabama will prevail in defending the state law. Unless the Supreme Court decided to weigh in on this ruling, Alabama appears to be in pretty good shape.
