The court's order also forces expedited proceedings in the appeal, signifying the urgency and significance of the case as it seeks to navigate complex issues surrounding healthcare and legislative authority.
Judge Charles Wilson, in his dissent, emphasized that 'on balance, evidence in the record demonstrates that the plaintiffs and class-members would suffer if the stay were granted - withholding access to gender-affirming care would cause needless suffering.'
