Biden transgender health mandate blocked by federal court in Christian alliance's appeal

A federal district court Monday temporarily blocked the enforcement of two Biden administration mandates related to transgender medical procedures and counseling.

"No government agency ought to be in the business of evaluating the sincerity of another’s religious beliefs," Traynor wrote. 

"HHS Guidance encourages a parent to file a complaint if a medical provider refuses to gender transition their child, of any age, including an infant," the judge noted. "The thought that a newborn child could be surgically altered to change gender is the result of the Biden HHS Notification and HHS Guidance that brands a medical professional’s refusal to do so as discrimination. Indeed, the HHS Guidance specifically invites the public to file complaints for acting in a manner the Alliance says is consistent with their sincerely held religious beliefs."
