Federal court upholds Indiana ban on puberty blockers, hormones for gender-confused minors

A U.S. appeals court upheld an Indiana law barring minors from being able to access medicines to help them transition genders.

On Wednesday, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals cemented the new ban in a 2-1 ruling, which a lower court had previously blocked. Those challenging the ban have argued it infringes on parents' rights and discriminates "on the basis of sex" by prohibiting treatments based on one's gender. 

The 7th circuit's ruling Wednesday overturned an earlier ruling from a lower court that blocked the new ban on transgender medical treatments.
