<p>A federal judge on Tuesday struck down major parts of Florida&#8217;s ban on transgender medical interventions for children.</p>
<p>Judge Robert Hinkle in Tallahassee ruled that “gender identity is real” and that a “widely accepted standard of care” includes puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.</p>
<p>In May of last year, Florida banned these hormonal transgender medical treatments for children.</p>
<p>“The state of Florida can regulate as needed but cannot flatly deny transgender individuals safe and effective medical treatment — treatment with medications routinely provided to others with the state’s full approval so long as the purpose is not to support the patient’s transgender identity,” Hinkle wrote in his order.</p>
<p>Hinkle also nixed two parts of the ban applying to adults. The law required adults to see a doctor in person before starting cross-sex hormones and stated that hormone treatments for adults “may not be prescribed, administered, or performed except by a physician.”</p>
<p>Three families along with LGBT groups sued over Florida&#8217;s ban, claiming the law denied the parents their right to make medical decisions for their trans-identifying children.</p>
<p>Governor Ron DeSantis&#8217; (R) office plans to appeal the ruling.</p>
<p>&#8220;We disagree with the court’s erroneous rulings on the law, on the facts, and on the science,” Julia Friedland, the governor’s deputy press secretary, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/11/us/florida-transgender-law.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement.</p>
<p>“As we’ve seen here in Florida, the United Kingdom, and across Europe, there is no quality evidence to support the chemical and physical mutilation of children. These procedures do permanent, life-altering damage to children, and history will look back on this fad in horror,” she said.</p>
<p>A number of European countries have pumped the brakes on transgender medical interventions for children including England, Scotland, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland.</p>
<p>Several other U.S. states have also passed bans on transgender medical interventions for children, including genital surgeries, double mastectomies for girls seeking a more male appearance, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones.</p>
<p>Last week, more than 100 health care professionals and groups <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/over-100-health-care-professionals-groups-sign-declaration-calling-for-halt-to-child-transgender-medical-services" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> onto a declaration calling on major medical organizations to halt dangerous transgender medical interventions for children.</p>
<p>Hinkle has weighed in on several other notable cases including, a 2014 ruling declaring Florida&#8217;s ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional, a 2020 ruling declaring a law requiring felons to pay legal fees before they could vote again unconstitutional (that decision was overturned), and a 2021 preliminary injunction against a law penalizing social media platforms that censored content from political candidates and media organizations.</p>
