This week, the nation’s first trial over a state ban on “gender-affirming” health care for minors began in federal court in Arkansas.  Two doctors testified Monday in Little Rock’s U.S. District Court over the negative impacts of restricting this type of health care for minors, which includes hormone therapy treatments, puberty blockers and sex reassignment surgeries. A 2021 state law banned this type of care for this age demographic......This month, Reuters reported how several European countries, including Finland and Sweden, that were “early to embrace gender care for children” have now pulled back the reins on such care. And, the United Kingdom is shutting down it’s main transgender youth clinic after a review criticized its waiting lists and “lack of consensus about how the health service should assess, diagnose and treat young people seeking gender services.MORE AT ”Federal Trial on Youth Transgender Care in Arkansas Begins (townhall.com)
