A federal appeals court will hear arguments in November over
Alabama’s efforts to outlaw the use of gender-affirming
medications to treat transgender minors.

Alabama is asking a federal appeals court to lift an injunction
and let it enforce a law that would make it a felony to give
puberty blockers or hormones to transgender minors to help
affirm their gender identity. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals has tentatively set arguments for the week of November
14.

U.S. District Judge Liles Burke in May issued a preliminary
injunction to stop the state from enforcing the medication ban
while a lawsuit goes forward.

Families and advocacy groups challenged the ban as an illegal
intrusion into family and medical decisions. Alabama has
maintained the ban is needed to protect children.

The state has appealed. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey in May referred to
the injunction as a “temporary legal roadblock.”

Alabama’s appeal cites the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on
abortion, invoking the majority opinion that argues that
unenumerated constitutional rights — those not explicitly
mentioned in the document — must be “deeply rooted in the
Nation’s history and traditions.”

A judge blocked a similar law from taking effect in Arkansas. A
three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
July heard arguments in that state’s appeal.
