Florida enacts sweeping restrictions on transgender rights and access to care.
TL;DR Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed several anti-transgender bills, including a ban on gender-affirming care for minors and a ban on children attending drag shows. The bills also target how students learn about and engage with the LGBTQ+ community. Florida is one of at least 19 Republican-led states that have banned youth gender transition surgeries or other forms of gender-affirming care. The bills have been criticized by LGBTQ+ advocacy groups as discriminatory and promoting unjust censorship. DeSantis has been accused of using the bills to appeal to Republican primary voters in a potential 2024 presidential run.
