ATLANTA (AP) — Parents of four transgender children in Georgia have filed a lawsuit challenging a Georgia law that bans most gender-affirming surgeries and hormone replacement therapies for minors. The lawsuit filed Thursday night says the law deprives parents of their right to make important decisions about their children’s health care. The law is set to take effect Saturday. Supporters argue the law will prevent children from making decisions they could later regret. But opponents say it will have devastating effects on young people who are making decisions with their parents under close medical supervision.
