A trial is scheduled to begin in Bismarck, North Dakota, over a controversial law that restricts medical care for transgender minors. The lawsuit, brought by families of transgender children and a physician, claims the law violates the state's constitution. The Republican-led Legislature passed the law last year, making it a misdemeanor to prescribe hormone treatments or puberty blockers to transgender children and a felony to perform gender-affirming surgery on minors.
A trial is set to begin in North Dakota over a law restricting medical care for transgender minors. The lawsuit, filed by families of transgender children and a doctor, argues that the law violates the state's constitution. The Republican-led Legislature passed the law last year, making it a misdemeanor for a healthcare provider to prescribe hormone treatments or puberty blockers to a transgender child, and a felony to perform gender-affirming surgery on a minor.
Supporters of the law argue it protects children from irreversible treatments, while opponents contend it will have harmful effects on transgender youth. A state district judge has dismissed some claims and plaintiffs from the case, leaving only a pediatric endocrinologist as a plaintiff. The trial, expected to last eight days, will determine the law's constitutionality.
