RFK Jr. went too far with comments about gender care for minors, judge rules - Politico

A federal judge ruled that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. exceeded his authority with a declaration that would have limited gender-affirming care for minors, finding it overstepped formal rule-making and blocking that policy action. The decision was a judicial setback for Kennedy’s public-health agenda and paused changes proposed by his department. The Supreme Court’s recent ruling that a Colorado conversion-therapy ban likely violates free-speech rights highlights a fragmented legal landscape: courts are both checking executive overreach on gender-care restrictions and limiting some state efforts to regulate practices affecting LGBTQ+ minors.
