Trial begins over Arkansas ban on gender-confirming surgery for children
Fox News
The trial over the Arkansas ban on gender-confirming care for children began on Monday. This is the nation's first trial over a state's ban on youth transgender surgery.
If the law takes effect, doctors who violate the ban could lose their licenses or face other professional disciplinary measures and could be sued.
The families of four transgender youths and two doctors who provide gender-confirming care want Moody to strike down the law, saying it is unconstitutional because it discriminates against transgender youths, intrudes on parents’ rights to make medical decisions for their children, and infringes on doctors’ free speech rights. The trial is expected to last at least a week.
