The UK High Court has ruled that the emergency ban on puberty blockers for transgender youth, introduced by the Conservative government, is lawful. This decision affects all transgender minors seeking hormone treatment in Great Britain. The ruling came after a challenge supported by Jolyon Maugham's Good Law Project and TransActual CIC, which argued against the ban on grounds of lack of consultation and Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Critics of the ban argue that it denies necessary medical treatment to transgender youth.
