In his decision, U.S. District Judge Robert L. Hinkle rejected a common mantra of the DeSantis administration, saying that 'gender identity is real,' and that the state cannot deny transgender individuals treatment.
Florida has adopted a statute and rules that ban gender-affirming care for minors even when medically appropriate. The ban is unconstitutional.
DeSantis press secretary Jeremy Redfern said the state will appeal. 'Florida will continue to fight to ensure children are not chemically or physically mutilated in the name of gender ideology.'
