The controversial rule, which included banning employers involved in hormone therapy or puberty blockers for minors, was seen as an overreach that could violate First Amendment rights. Filed by states, nonprofits, and cities, the lawsuits argue the policy unfairly penalizes public servants. While the Department maintains the rule was meant to prevent taxpayer funds from funding illegal activities, the ruling is hailed as a victory for public servants and the communities they serve.
