TL;DR Summary

Florida's new law banning gender-affirming care for minors also limits access to healthcare for many transgender adults. The law mandates that adult patients seeking trans health care sign an informed consent form, requires a physician to oversee any health care related to transitioning, and allows doctors and pharmacists to refuse to treat transgender people. Clinics are trying to figure out how to operate under the new regulations, and many transgender adults are facing tough choices, including whether to uproot their lives to continue accessing gender-confirming care.
