A Tallahassee-based federal judge has temporarily blocked a ban on gender affirming care for kids. LGBTQ+ advocates are celebrating the decision.
Simone Chriss, Director of the Southern Legal Counsel’s Transgender Rights Initiative calls the ruling a “strong affirmation of trans folks, of their experiences and of the healthcare they need to survive.”
The injunction is narrowly focused on three kids whose parents are involved in the lawsuit, but since the ruling finds the barriers to care are likely unconstitutional, Chriss says that means the ban is not expected to be enforced as the case moves forward and that gender affirming care should be accessible for kids who need it.
In a statement, Jane Doe, who is challenging the ban on behalf of herself and her daughter Susan Doe, said her “entire family is breathing a huge sigh of relief.”
“My husband and I have been heartbroken and worried sick about not being able to care for our daughter in the way we know she needs. I’m sure most any parent can imagine the sense of powerlessness that comes from being unable to do something as basic as get medical care for your child,” Doe continued.

Has America just became stupid? So children that can't buy cigarettes, sign a contract, buy alcohol or even work in most jobs can now decide that they are unhappy with their sex and their parents are stupid enough to support this kind of Crap. There is NO gender affirming care/surgery. It's chemically and surgically mutilating children that are in no way old enough to make that kind of decision.
Here is the correct path to follow now. Impeach the judge, re-instate the ban, take the license of any medical professional that participated in any of the junk, and throw the parents in jail.
I generally think you should be able to do almost any stupid thing you want as an Adult, but sex change for minors lost my support for any of it.
