Lange v. Houston County, Georgia

ELEVENTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS

On August 15, 2024, the Eleventh Circuit decided to reconsider en banc the recent panel ruling which upheld Ms. Lange’s right to seek coverage for gender-affirming care through her employer's healthcare plan. The order also vacated the panel’s order pending the Court’s en banc decision. The ruling may now be overturned, which could gravely affect the rights of trans employees seeking to have the costs of gender-affirming care covered by their employer's health insurance. Oral arguments will be heard by the en banc court on February 4, 2025.
