Florida Furthers Attempt to Ban Gender-Affirming Care for Children
A joint-committee of the state’s two medical boards on Friday took another step toward banning gender-affirming care for transgender kids in Florida.
Members from the Florida Board of Medicine and the state Board of Osteopathic Medicine approved rulemaking language that would ban children from taking hormones or undergoing surgery to treat gender dysphoria.
Both boards are scheduled to meet on Nov. 4, where they will vote to finalize the rule.
