DeSantis enacts sweeping restrictions on trans rights in Florida.
TL;DR Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed two bills into law that criminalize multiple aspects of being transgender, including gender-affirming medical care and bathroom use. The laws affect both minors and adults and could result in prison sentences for those who violate them. Trans advocates warn that these attacks on trans people are expanding and becoming more extreme, and DeSantis has a history of targeting the LGBTQ+ community. The media must not overlook these acts of hate and their real-world effects on people.
