The state\u2019s Attorney General, Jonathan Skrmetti, said that they would \u201cvigorously\u201d defend the law, while Republican Governor Bill Lee called the suit an example of federal overreach. Majority Leader William Lamberth also pledged to fight back against what he called a \u201ccruel ideology\u201d that harms children. The law, which received bipartisan support in the state legislature, is due to take effect in July.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Protecting Children from Irreversible Harm<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The law, signed by Governor Lee in March, will bar doctors from giving patients under the age of 18 puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and transgender surgery. According to the DOJ, the law violates the Equal Protection Clause by discriminating against \u201ctransgender youth\u201d diagnosed with gender dysphoria. However, Tennessee officials argue that they are trying to protect children from permanent, life-altering decisions. Senator Marsha Blackburn also condemned the lawsuit, calling it a \u201cgross federal overreach\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Standing Up for Tennessee\u2019s Laws<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti said that the state would \u201cvigorously\u201d fight to keep the law in place.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Republican Governor Bill Lee said that the suit was an example of the overreach of the federal government.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Majority Leader William Lamberth (R-Portland) pledged to fight back against what he called a \u201ccruel ideology\u201d that harms children.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The state\u2019s officials are united in their determination to stand up for Tennessee\u2019s laws and protect children from irreversible harm. They argue that gender dysphoria is a mental health disorder that should be treated with love and understanding, therapy, and other appropriate interventions.
