Florida law restricting transgender adult care can be enforced while challenged in court

A new Florida law restricting health care for transgender people can still be applied to adults while it is being challenged in court, a federal judge ruled Monday.

Judge Robert Hinkle, who previously blocked the law’s enforcement on behalf of minors, ruled that adults seeking to expand his injunction haven’t proven they would be irreparably harmed until the case is resolved.

The law signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in May bans any transgender treatment for minors and requires transgender adults give consent to treatment in person and with a physician present. Advocates say that is a problem because much of the care is prescribed by nurse practitioners and/or through telehealth – and that it’s too hard for many patients to get or get to in-person appointments with physicians.

I’m proud my city just became a sanctuary city for gender affirming care. Red states are getting scarier day by day.

It was pretty obvious Florida’s laws were not for protecting anyone and were purely designed to be transphobic to appeal to a rabid bigoted conservative base.

Not just the base. There are lots of people out there simply trusting authority. Stuff like this appeals to those people, too. They don’t think very well by themselves.

Conservatism is bigotry, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, misogyny and antisemitism. At its core, that’s all it is.

Teach your children why it’s wrong to do business or keep relationships with conservatives. Marginalize hate by marginalizing the hate group.

    Judges are a fucking joke.

    Making laws that affect less than 1% of the population is not only a waste of time but unconstitutional. Equal rights under the law means nothing to the kabuki theater of creating wedge issues for the politicians. Instead the state will spend money on lawyers for a losing case, if the judges have any integrity. Welcome to DeSantis Florida where this happens all the time.

    While I agree this law is heinous and possibly unconstitutional, most laws affect less than 1% of the population, so that’s a bad argument.

    14th Amendment

    SECTION 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any personati life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

    When you make arights law for less than 1% of the population, you are automatically unconstitutional per the 14th. Constitutional lawyers have a term for this, bur I forget what it is.

    You think you know struggle? That you understand sacrifice? You’ll never know how much dedication it takes to punch yourself in the face until it hurts someone minding their own business.

    Florida is both the bartender in Quentin Tarantino’s Desperado joke and somehow also Quentin Tarantino assaulting on-screen talent.

    Such small government telling adults what they can and can’t do with their own bodies.

    dragonflyteaparty ,

    Yeah, small enough to fit into uteri and to tell us that we can’t read, specific individual books and to mandate which bathroom we use and to contradict doctors on what medical care is. Very small government there.
