A federal judge in Oklahoma has declined to stop a new law from taking effect that makes it a felony crime for health care workers to provide gender-affirming care to young transgender people
FILE - Trans-rights activists protest outside the House chamber at the state Capitol before the State of the State address in Oklahoma City, Feb. 6, 2023. In a ruling late Thursday, Oct. 5, a federal judge in Oklahoma declined to stop a new law from taking effect that makes it a felony crime for health care workers to provide gender-affirming care to young transgender people.
The new law, which bans medical treatments like puberty-blocking drugs or hormones for those younger than 18, was passed by Oklahoma's Republican-controlled Legislature and signed by Gov. Kevin Stitt in May. Enforcement had been on hold under an agreement between the plaintiffs and Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond, whose office is defending the law.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Oklahoma, Lambda Legal and the law firm Jenner & Block LLP, issued a joint statement vowing an appeal and decrying the judge's decision as a “devastating result for transgender youth and their families.”
