Anonymous4 days ago

A Kansas state judge on May 15, 2026, temporarily blocked enforcement of SB 63, a law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors, ruling it likely violates the Kansas Constitution's protections of parental autonomy and personal liberty. The decision sets up a significant state-level constitutional battle after the U.S. Supreme Court's 2025 Skrmetti ruling foreclosed federal equal protection challenges, with Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach vowing an immediate appeal.
