June 11 Florida’s ban on gender-affirming care for adults is discriminatory and has no legitimate state interest, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.
U.S. District Court for Northern Florida Judge Robert Hinkle ruled a 2023 Florida law is unconstitutional and violates the equal protection rights of transgender people.
“Florida can regulate as needed but cannot flatly deny transgender individuals safe and effective medical treatment,” Hinkle said in his decision.
