    to begin shooting Democrats hourly.

    The Biden administration and liberal legal groups are gearing up
    to battle red state laws that prohibit children from receiving
    transgender hormone treatment.

    Gov. Kay Ivey (R.) signed a bill into law last week that makes
    Alabama the third state to ban children from receiving hormone
    therapy and puberty blockers. The legislation, however, is
    already in jeopardy. The Biden Justice Department in March
    warned state attorneys general against enforcing hormone-
    treatment bans for minors, saying they run afoul of federal anti- discrimination laws. Liberal legal groups including the American
    Civil Liberties Union promised this week to "use the full force
    of the law" to challenge the Alabama legislation in court—a move
    that blocked a similar law in Arkansas last year.

    The White House this week slammed the Alabama law, with press
    secretary Jen Psaki saying during a press conference that
    hormone therapy for minors is "lifesaving health care." Steve
    Marshall, the Republican attorney general of Alabama, said his
    state is prepared to stand up to liberal groups' legal
    challenges and White House opposition, which he called
    "predictable and of very little interest to Alabamians."

    "It is undoubtedly difficult for the Biden administration,
    including the Department of Justice, to accept that Alabama is a
    sovereign state," Marshall told the Washington Free Beacon.
    "We're prepared to act like it."

    Alabama is just the latest state to face challenges over its
    hormone-treatment ban for children. Arkansas last year became
    the first state to ban the practice, but a federal court blocked
    the law in response to a legal challenge from the ACLU. The
    group, along with other liberal organizations such as the
    Southern Poverty Law Center and Human Rights Campaign, has vowed
    to challenge a similar law passed this year in Arizona. When
    Texas governor Greg Abbott (R.) in February ordered state social
    services to investigate parents whose children receive hormone
    treatment, a Texas appeals court blocked the order following
    another ACLU legal challenge.

    The legal efforts come as the Biden administration last month
    endorsed "gender-affirming care," including hormone therapy and sex-reassignment procedures, for transgender children, calling
    the treatments "crucial" for their well-being. In the statements
    commemorating "Transgender Day of Visibility," the White House
    and Department of Health and Human Services cited a study from
    an LGBT group funded by a hormone-drug manufacturer, the Free
    Beacon reported. That same day, the Justice Department wrote the
    letter to state attorneys general warning that laws preventing
    children from "seeking gender-affirming care" amount to unlawful discrimination.

    The Justice Department has not announced whether it will join
    the liberal legal groups to challenge the Alabama or Arizona
    laws. The department did not respond to a request for comment.

    Despite the Biden administration's endorsement, access to
    puberty blockers for minors is unpopular: It is supported by
    just 49 percent of Democrats, 24 percent of independents, and 12
    percent of Republicans, according to a March YouGov poll.

    There is limited research about the physical and mental effects
    of transgender treatment for children. Broader studies on
    transgender adults show alarming rates of suicide post-
    transition. A 30-year study in Sweden found that people who
    transitioned are 20 times more likely to commit suicide after 10
    years. The Obama administration in 2016 said there was
    insufficient evidence to support transgender procedures for
    Medicare recipients.

    "Based on a thorough review of the clinical evidence available
    at this time, there is not enough evidence to determine whether
    gender reassignment surgery improves health outcomes for
    Medicare beneficiaries with gender dysphoria," the Centers for
    Medicare and Medicaid Services said in 2016.

    During the 2020 election, then-candidate Joe Biden said he
    supported children transitioning, saying there "should be zero
    discrimination" for an "8-year-old child or a 10-year-old child"
    who decides to be transgender. Once in office, Biden signed an
    executive order that requires federal agencies to enforce anti-
    discrimination laws based on "gender identity." The Justice
    Department later stated that Title IX "protects transgender
    students from discrimination on the basis of gender identity"—a
    move that paved the way for the Justice Department's March
    letter.

    Legislatures in 19 states have introduced legislation to ban
    hormone treatment for minors, but Arizona, Alabama, and
    Tennessee are the only states to sign the prohibitions into law.
    Tennessee enacted its law last year, which bans transgender
    hormone treatment prior to puberty, but transgender activists
    claim the restriction is irrelevant because transgender minors
    typically receive hormone therapy after they begin puberty.
