The Justice Department filed a complaint Friday challenging Alabama's
Senate Bill (S.B.) 184, which bans transgender treatments for children.
The DOJ asserts that criminalizing the sexual transition of children is
a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment on the grounds of equal
protection.
Cut!
"S.B. 184 makes it a felony for any person to 'engage in or cause'
specified types of medical care for transgender minors. S.B. 184 thus discriminates against transgender youth by denying them access to
certain forms of medically necessary care," the Department of Justice
wrote. "It further discriminates against transgender youth by barring
them from accessing particular procedures while allowing
non-transgender minors to access the same or similar procedures."

The DOJ's argument is bullshit.
First of all it's not medically necessary, that's is only what the
parents think. The doctor decides what is medically necessary. A
doctor doesn't have to prescribe puberty blockers just because parents
want them.
The last argument is also bullshit, the law applies to all children.
Again, the doctor will decide what is medically necessary.
The truth is, there are no transgender children, there are just crazy
parents.
