The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit stayed a lower court decision on Monday, meaning that the state can now begin enforcing a 2023 law prohibiting doctors from prescribing puberty blockers and hormone therapy to minors.

In its 2-1 ruling, the court’s majority suggested that they did not believe that the law intends to harm or discriminate against transgender people, in contract to an opinion a district court had reached.
