Kansas judge blocks law banning gender-transition treatments for minors

Parents had sued to halt law, saying they had the right to make decisions regarding the health of their children

A Kansas judge has temporarily blocked a law banning gender-transition treatments for minors in the state.

The state district judge Carl Folsom III granted an injunction requested by the parents of two teenagers who want to continue gender-transition treatment with medicines. Folsom's decision halts the enforcement of a recently approved state law that banned such treatments.
