gender affirming care

Providing gender-affirming care, such as hormone treatment, to people under the age of 18 is already illegal in Florida. But a new bill could change who can be charged for it and who can investigate it.

A federal judge has struck down a Florida law that banned doctors from providing gender affirming care to most kids. It also created hurdles for adults to access care. Now, advocates say they hope more transgender patients will be able to get what they see as life-saving care.
