The Court of Appeals ruled that Florida's ban on trans healthcare for minors and restrictions for adults is legal, overturning a previous district court decision.
Judges Grant and Luck asserted that legislators believe the treatments in question are harmful, distinguishing their stance from transphobia, despite dissenting opinions highlighting discrimination.
District Judge Hinkle previously deemed the law unconstitutional, emphasizing that restricting trans rights does not serve a legitimate state interest, which the Appeals Court challenged.
Advocacy groups condemned the ruling as a setback for LGBTQ+ rights in Florida, criticizing the perceived discriminatory basis behind the legislation.
