Gender Affirming Care and the Law
Health Law Speaker Series
Join Professor Abby Moncrieff and Clinical Counselor Pete Finnerty in the Cleveland State University College of Law Moot Court Room or online as they discuss the current state of gender-affirming care and the law.
Numerous states around the country have attempted to impose bans limiting access to critical gender-affirming care for individuals within the LGBTQ+ community. Many of these bans have been challenged in both state and federal courts.
Currently, there is a split amongst courts regarding access to gender-affirming care. These legal challenges have social, political, and economic impacts for the LBGTQ+ community. As the courts work to resolve these discrepancies the legal status of access to gender-affirming care remains precious.
