Alberta 's transgender law is being challenged by groups representing transgender youth.

The law bars youth under 16 from receiving hormone therapy and puberty blockers.

The groups argue the law violates the Charter because it denies medical care.

Alberta became the first Canadian province to enact legislation that prohibits LGBTQ+ youth from receiving gender-affirming care.
