A federal judge has blocked the state of Georgia from enforcing part of a new law that bans doctors from starting hormone therapy for transgender people under the age of 18. In a ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Sarah Geraghty granted a preliminary injunction sought by several transgender children, parents, and a community organization in a lawsuit challenging the ban. Geraghty said her ruling will block enforcement of the ban on hormone replacement therapy until a further court order or a trial. The Georgia law, Senate Bill 140, allows doctors to prescribe puberty-blocking medications, and it allows minors who are already receiving hormone therapy to continue.
