A federal appeals court upheld Alabama's ban on hormone therapy and puberty blockers for transgender minors, maintaining a divisive ruling that could impact similar legislation in Florida. The decision highlights differing judicial opinions on parental rights and medical care for transgender youth, with some judges arguing it undermines family access to medical treatment. Concurrently, the New Hampshire Supreme Court affirmed a school district policy that protects the privacy of transgender students by allowing them to choose when to disclose their gender identity to parents, a ruling contested by a local mother. The court concluded that the policy does not infringe on parental rights as it only encourages non-disclosure, not mandates it. Dissenting views within the court emphasize the necessity of parental awareness in guiding their children's identities. Advocates for transgender rights celebrate these rulings as victories for student dignity and respect in educational settings.
