LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas teenager who is receiving hormone therapy says a state ban on such treatments could force he and his family to leave the sate. Seventeen-year-old Dylan Brandt testified Wednesday at the nation’s first trial over a state ban on gender affirming care for children. Brandt said the hormone therapy he’s received since 2020 has transformed his life and made him happier. Brandt, his mother and the other of another transgender child were among the final witnesses as the opponents of Arkansas’ law wrapped up their case. The law was temporarily blocked by a federal judge last year.
