Florida's New Law Limits Transgender Adults' Access to Health Care, Leaving Them Blindsided.
TL;DR Summary
Florida's new law banning gender-affirming care for minors has also made it difficult for many transgender adults to get treatment. 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 for people to see that doctor in person. The law also made it a crime to violate the new requirements. Clinics are also trying to figure out how to operate under regulations that have made Florida a test case for restrictions on adults. At least 19 states have now enacted laws restricting or banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors.
