The 11th U.S. Court of Appeals declined to reconsider a decision allowing Alabama to enforce its ban on gender-affirming care for minors.

The Alabama law makes it a felony to treat people under 19 with puberty blockers or hormones.

Families with trans children had hoped the 11th Circuit would put the law back on hold.

Four of the 11 judges who heard the case dissented, saying the panel opinion is wrong and dangerous.
