Case Summary

This case involves a challenge to a North Carolina law that prohibited providing gender-affirming care to minors.  On August 16, 2023, North Carolina ratified HB 808 which prohibited healthcare professions from providing gender-affirming care to transgender minors. The ban also prohibited the use of state funds to support gender-affirming medical care.

This case involves a challenge to a North Carolina law that prohibited providing gender-affirming care to minors. 

On August 16, 2023, North Carolina ratified HB 808 which prohibited healthcare professions from providing gender-affirming care to transgender minors. The ban also prohibited the use of state funds to support gender-affirming medical care. On October 11, 2023 several transgender minors, their parents, and medical professionals filed suit in the District of North Carolina against the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, as well as several members of the North Carolina Medical Board in their official capacity. The plaintiffs were represented by Lambda Legal, the National Health Law Program, HWG LLP and McDermott Will & Emery. Plaintiffs sought an injunction barring enforcement of the law. The case was assigned to Judge Loretta Biggs.

Plaintiffs challenged the Health Care ban under the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause because the law only prohibited hormonal therapy for transgender individuals, therefore denying them medical care on the basis of their transgender status and biological sex. Plaintiffs also challenged the law under a Parental Autonomy theory of the 14th Amendment's Due Process Clause, arguing that the prohibition deprived North Carolina parents of their fundamental right to make medical decisions concerning the care of their children, and under §1557 of the Affordable Care Act, alleging that the statute violated the ACA's prohibition on sex-based discrimination. 

On October 23, 2023 Philip Berger, President Pro Tempore of the North Carolina Senate, and Timothy Moore, Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, moved to intervene in their official capacities. The court granted this motion on October 24, 2023. 

On October 27, 2023 the Federal Government filed a statement of interest, noting that "The United States has a strong interest in protecting both individual and civil rights, including the rights of transgender persons. Executive Order 13,988 recognizes the right of all people to be 'treated with respect and dignity,' 'to access healthcare . . . without being subjected to sex discrimination,' and to 'receive equal treatment under the law, no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation'.”

On November 20, 2023 plaintiffs filed an amended complaint which added a count alleging the North Carolina Law violated the Medicaid Act’s EPSDT Requirements. 

On March 19, 2024 plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, updating the factual development of the effect HB 808 has had on the transgender plaintiffs. 

As of January 1, 2024 the parties have filed their respective motions for and against a preliminary injunction. The motions have not been ruled on as of February 26, 2025.

On February 27, 2025 the Federal Government notified the court that it would be withdrawing its Statement of Interest as it no longer represents the United States' position regarding gender-affirming care for transgender youth. 

This case is ongoing.
