The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals promised a swift ruling on the fate of Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors following a hearing last week. A three-judge panel of the court heard arguments Friday on whether to set aside a lower court’s ruling temporarily blocking the law, Tennessee Lookout reports. The court previously intervened on an emergency basis, allowing the law to take effect until it could hear arguments in the case. Also on Friday, the court heard a nearly identical challenge to a ban on gender-affirming care for minors in Kentucky.
