On Thursday, The Epoch Times<\/a> reported that the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati ruled 2-1 on Monday to allow Kentucky’s ban on minor access for cross-sex procedures to continue.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The same court recently ruled to allow a\u00a0Tennessee<\/a> ban on cross-sex procedures for minors to continue as well, and wrote (pdf<\/a>) that the same factors applied in this case.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Plaintiffs argue that because some Kentucky officials disagree with the ban, Kentucky\u2019s interest in enforcing the ban is weaker than Tennessee\u2019s. But the fact that some officials disagree with the ban does not change the analysis. As a sovereign state, Kentucky has an interest in creating and enforcing its own laws,” the ruling reads.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s indefensible that leftist activists are disguising sterilization and genital surgeries as pediatric care for vulnerable children,\u201d\u00a0 Mr. Cameron wrote.\u00a0\u201cChild mutilation is illegal in our Commonwealth, and these reckless hormone interventions are based on an irrational ideology that ignores scientific evidence.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Twenty<\/a> states have already introduced measures meant to shield children from cross-sex procedures, but the majority of these laws are tied up in the courts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arkansas was the first state to attempt a ban in 2021, but it was blocked 10 days before the law was to go into effect after the ACLU filed a\u00a0lawsuit<\/a>. The case went to trial last year, before\u00a0U.S. District Judge James Moody Jr. permanently blocked the legislation in an\u00a080-page ruling<\/a>\u00a0last month.\u00a0Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin said the state would\u00a0appeal<\/a>\u00a0the decision in the\u00a018th Circuit Court of Appeals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many attempts have gone much the same way. Of the 20 states with such proposals, only\u00a0Iowa, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virginia, and Utah have seen their law go unchallenged<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Calling medically scarring children for life ‘gender-affirming care’ is ridiculous. I hope that as more people who underwent these procedures as children (surgery or hormone treatments) and now regret them will speak out loudly about the permanent nature of these treatments. This is child abuse that unfortunately has become acceptable in some political and social circles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
