Days after blocking a gender-affirming care ban in Georgia, a judge has decided to reinstate it based on an 11th Circuit Court of Appeals decision in Alabama allowing a similar ban to take effect.

In her August decision, Judge Sarah Geraghty ruled that the transgender children who sought the injunction on Georgia’s Senate Bill 140, signed into law in March, faced “imminent risks” from the ban, including anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts.
