The law will not only prevent transgender minors from accessing care related to their gender affirmation, but will also force those in this age group who are already taking transitioning medication to discontinue their treatment. Human rights organizations are appealing this decision. Separately, a federal judge has temporarily blocked a Texas law that imposes restrictions on drag shows.
