Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) released the following statement after the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a hold on Arkansas's law to ban transgender medical interventions for children:

"Our legislature voted to protect kids from experimental drugs and surgeries that could permanently damage their health and well-being. By blocking this law again, the court has kept the fate of Arkansas's children in the hands of liberal activists who support "sex-changes' for children."
