A federal judge in Atlanta has blocked Georgia from enforcing a new law that restricts doctors from prescribing hormone therapy to transgender people under the age of 18.
Geraghty’s ruling did not block the surgery ban.
Experts for the plaintiffs said the benefits of gender-affirming care for adolescents were well-established and profound. Defense experts raised concerns about the risks of hormone treatment and the quality of studies establishing its effectiveness. "he imminent risks of irreparable harm to Plaintiffs flowing from the ban — including risks of depression, anxiety, disordered eating, self-harm, and suicidal ideation — outweigh any harm the State will experience from the injunction,” Geraghty wrote.
