Florida Bans Gender-Affirming Care for Minors, Prompting Legal Action.

Florida has become the eighth state to restrict transition-related medical care for minors, with a new rule that bars minors from starting puberty blockers or hormone therapy. Parents of transgender youths in the state have announced they plan to challenge the measure in court. The Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine will enact an identical rule on March 28. The rule is already set to face a legal challenge from a group of parents being represented by four national advocacy groups.
