Emma Koe, et al. v. Caylee Noggle, et al.

United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia
2023 WL 5339281 (2023)

SC

Facts

The State of Georgia (defendant) enacted a law prohibiting sex-reassignment surgery and hormone-replacement therapy for the treatment of gender dysphoria in transgender children. The state claimed an interest of protecting children’s physical and mental well-being and regulating medical treatment of minors. Emma Koe (plaintiff) was the mother of Amy, a transgender girl with gender dysphoria. Amy’s physician recommended hormone therapy. Koe sued the state, challenging the law on the ground that it violated Amy’s right to equal protection. Koe sought a preliminary injunction to enjoin the state from enforcing the law. The state presented evidence that risks from the treatment included fertility impairment, bone-density issues, high blood pressure, and weight gain, among others. Koe presented evidence that the treatment had the benefits of reduced anxiety, reduced suicidality, and reduced depression.
