Judge Hinkle sided with advocacy groups and families, stating that the law infringed on parents' rights to make medical decisions for transgender children.
Hinkle emphasized that gender identity is real, and the state cannot deny safe medical treatments like puberty blockers and hormone therapies.
The law, passed by Republican lawmakers, banned transition-related medication for minors, but Hinkle declared these provisions unconstitutional.
Hinkle had temporarily blocked the law's enforcement for the families involved, pending the trial's outcome.
Florida can regulate but not outright deny appropriate medical treatment for transgender individuals, according to Judge Hinkle.
