A federal appeals court on Nov. 13, in a split decision, upheld an Indiana law that bans gender surgeries and other transition procedures for minors.

A U.S. district judge incorrectly found previously that plaintiffs who sued over the law would be irreparably harmed by not being able to access puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones if the law were not blocked, according to the majority of a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit panel.
