Gender Justice Helps North Dakota Families Sue to Block the Health Care Ban for Transgender and Nonbinary Youth

On September 14, 2023, Gender Justice joined co-counsel The Lawyering Project and Ciresi Conlin LLC to help three North Dakota families and a medical provider file suit against the state of North Dakota in T.D. v. Wrigley. The lawsuit seeks to end North Dakota’s criminalization of essential health care for transgender and nonbinary young people and asks a North Dakota circuit court judge to immediately block enforcement of the law—restoring parents’ right to parent their children and their children’s right and ability to receive standard medical care as prescribed by their doctors.
