In Idaho, a federal judge has temporarily blocked a new state law that threatened transgender people with up to five years in prison for using public restrooms that match their gender identity.
In related news, the Federal Trade Commission, joined by four states — Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska and Texas — have sued the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. The lawsuit alleges the group made deceptive claims about gender-affirming care for minors. The group said in a statement the FTC is “acting out of pure retaliation as part of the federal government’s relentless and targeted campaign to undermine gender-affirming care … The [FTC] is not a medical provider and has no place interfering with the process of individualized medical decision-making.”
