Kentucky's full ban on gender-affirming healthcare for transgender kids was set to go into effect at midnight on Thursday. But a federal court issued a temporary block just hours before it happened. Although advocates are happy with the court order to currently block the ban, they still worry about what could happen if the block is lifted. They argue the ban will have tough impacts on trans kids who currently receive treatment in Kentucky. They will no longer be able to receive that level of healthcare in-state. Rebecca Blankenship, a trans woman who is fighting against the ban says that although LGBTQ+ advocates worry about increased suicides as a potential result of Kentucky's ban, the trans community is resilient. While some are relieved by this block, some are not. Attorney General Daniel Cameron calls the federal court's action on the ban a misguided decision that tramples the right of the General Assembly to make public policy for the Commonwealth. He mentions Senate Bill 150 and says it is a commonsense law that protects Kentucky children from unnecessary medical experimentation with powerful drugs and hormone treatments. Cameron says, "I will always fight the radical idea that risky drugs and life-altering surgical mutilations should be tools to put confused children on an inevitable path toward a life of gender dysphoria.” #Queer Up Health
