gender affirming care

While the City Commission's nonbinding resolution does not carry the weight of law, it “shows individuals here in Gainesville and across the state that not everyone thinks like the people in Tallahassee,” Commissioner Reina Saco says.

The latest ruling involved a lawsuit filed last year on behalf of two adults and two minors. An estimated 9,000 transgender people in Florida use Medicaid to fund their treatments.

Physicians will be able to renew orders for puberty blockers and hormone therapy children and adults as long as no changes are made to the prescriptions. The Board of Medicine previously approved the rule.

A federal judge has struck down Arkansas' 2021 ban on gender-affirming care for youth calling it unconstitutional and saying the state's experts were motivated by ideology, not science. Florida has a similar law on hold.

A judge says a House panel “has shown a legitimate interest" in obtaining the state American Academy of Pediatrics' documents on the development of care standards for minors diagnosed with gender dysphoria.

Saying more evidence is needed about the potential benefits and harms. the NHS halted puberty-suppressing hormones for children and adolescents outside of a research setting.

A judge's temporarily injunction was seen by advocates as a win for trans rights, but a chilling effect has left some providers and families confused on what to do next.

Families of the plaintiffs and their advocates are celebrating after a federal judge allowed three adolescents to access care while a lawsuit is underway.

While the preliminary injunction applies to only three of the children in the lawsuit, the judge indicated the state’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors is unconstitutional. The state, however, says the law remains in effect except for those in the case.

People have given $200,000 since January to fundraisers on GoFundMe started by trans people seeking to leave Florida, according to data from the platform.
