From Breitbart: A federal appeals court rejected an appeal by pro-transgender advocates, allowing Alabama to keep protecting children and youths from transgender advocates.
The good news was matched by other events in Texas, Virginia, and Missouri where judges and university officials rejected demands from transgender advocates seeking to minimize the public’s recognition of the two male and female sexes.
The United States 11th Circuit Court of Appeals released a divided 173-page decision in which ten out of 11 judges took part, according to the Alabama Reflector. In the decision from the court, there were five dissenting opinions and a concurrence written by U.S. Circuit Judge Barbara Lagoa.
In May 2022, an Alabama law went into effect, which made it a felony to conduct transgender surgeries on minors or to offer minors puberty blockers or hormone treatments.
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall celebrated the win, writing on X, “Alabama Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act continues to be enforced! This is a big win to protect children from these untested and life-altering chemical and surgical procedures.”

Via @JK_Stephenson: The 173-page ruling featured five opinions and several dissents, including one from a judge who wrote that the historical standard the court used meant that in Alabama, “blistering, blood-letting, and leeches are in.” https://t.co/3ScvTk6KaU #alpolitics
