A federal judge has just blocked the Idaho law which banned transgender medical care for minors, claiming it violates parental rights or something.

Here’s the news via NBC News:

Idaho cannot enforce a law banning gender-affirming care such as puberty blockers and hormones for transgender minors, a federal judge ruled, a victory for families who had sued the state challenging the law.

In a preliminary order on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill in Boise wrote that the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution’s guarantees of equal protection and due process give parents the right to get gender-affirming care for their children.

“Transgender children should receive equal treatment under the law,” Winmill, who was appointed by Democratic former President Bill Clinton, wrote. “Parents should have the right to make the most fundamental decisions about how to care for their children.”

Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador said in a statement that the ruling “places children at risk of irreversible harm” and that he would appeal.

Idaho passed a law banning puberty blockers, hormones or surgeries aiming to “affirm the child’s perception of the child’s sex if that perception is inconsistent with the child’s biological sex.” It is one of about 20 Republican-led states that have banned or restricted gender-affirming treatments.

Someone needs to tell this Bill Clinton appointee that there is no such thing as “transgender children”. That’s a ridiculous statement on its face and there’s simply no justification for allowing a parent to ruin the lives of their children simply because they are confused at a young age. Children should be allowed to grow and mature into adults so that they can better understand who they are without their parents pushing them into these transgender medical interventions at young ages that change their bodies in permanent ways.

This is child abuse and I hope the Idaho AG appeals it and wins.
