A recent court ruling in Tennessee confirms the state’s authority to enforce laws addressing gender identity terms in youth health care. The leadership of an international legal institute announced plans for a draft bill aimed at reforming Polish law on gender reassignment procedures.
From a U.S. perspective, the court decision is framed as part of a broader effort to protect the rights of children, and it outlines the ability of Tennessee to restrict specific medical interventions for minors.
Hormone therapies, puberty blockers and gender-affirming surgeries for young people were cited as targeted measures in the discussion surrounding the ruling.
Ordo Iuris initiative
The president of the Ordo Iuris Institute outlined a proposal to modify Polish law related to gender reassignment, signaling a push for legislative changes in Poland.
Jerzy Kwaśniewski described the effort as aiming to halt medical procedures performed on minors in the context of gender transition.
Tennessee’s legal outcome has prompted discussion about similar policy directions in Poland, where the Ordo Iuris institute intends to publish a bill in the near future. The organization indicates it has consulted with parents, healthcare professionals, educators, and doctors to assess the issue and advocate for reforms aimed at protecting minors from irreversible medical procedures.
