Sixth Circuit Reverses Preliminary Injunctions Blocking Tennessee and Kentucky Restrictions on Gender-Affirming Care | Practical Law
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has reversed two district court preliminary injunctions addressing Tennessee and Kentucky laws preventing health providers from performing gender-affirming surgeries and furnishing hormones or puberty blockers to transgender individuals. The district court injunctions had blocked these laws from going into effect. The Sixth Circuit however, concluded that the plaintiffs, which included transgender minors and their parents, were not likely to prevail on the merits of their claims.
