D.H. v. Snyder

This amicus brief filed in the Ninth Circuit case D.H., et al. v. Jami Snyder (No. 21-15668), was submitted by detransitioners and Detransvoices.org, including Keira Bell and others, with legal representation from Mary E. McAlister, Vernadette R. Broyles, and Joel H. Thornton of the Child & Parental Rights Campaign, Inc. (CPRC), supporting defendant-appellee Jami Snyder seeking affirmance of the district court’s ruling that upheld Arizona’s Medicaid exclusion of gender-modification interventions for minors. The brief presents the detransitioners’ experiences that such interventions can cause harm, aligning with CPRC’s advocacy for protecting youth and parental rights against expansive transgender healthcare policies. CPRC’s involvement underscores its opposition to the plaintiffs’ claims of discrimination under the Affordable Care Act and Equal Protection Clause, supporting the state’s authority to limit coverage.
