Just as this law was set to start protecting children, a federal judge blocked it. Intervene, Lord!

From The Daily Wire. A federal judge in Tennessee has put a partial block on a law intended to shield children from life-altering transgender procedures, following other federal judges who blocked similar protective laws in other states.

U.S. District Judge Eli Richardson placed a temporary injunction against the ban on giving children cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers, which have been shown to have life-altering impacts on children. Richardson did not block the provision of Tennessee’s law banning double mastectomies on girls identifying as boys or other genital procedures.

“If Tennessee wishes to regulate access to certain medical procedures, it must do so in a manner that does not infringe on the rights conferred by the United States Constitution, which is of course supreme to all other laws of the land. With regard to SB1, Tennessee has likely failed to do just this,” Richardson wrote in his ruling. …

Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson, who sponsored the bill in the state Senate, thanked Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti for his “commitment” to appeal the decision.

“I have complete faith that the legislation we passed is constitutional,” Johnson said. “This is a critical part of our efforts to protect Tennessee children, and we are going to continue to fight to protect these kids from permanent, irreversible mutilation of their bodies.” …

A federal judge in Kentucky also blocked a ban on giving children cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers on Wednesday, joining other judges in Florida, Indiana, and Arkansas who have made similar rulings.
