Florida Passes Controversial Bills Limiting Transgender Rights and Care.
TL;DR Summary
The Florida Legislature has passed a bill that would ban gender-transition care for minors and restrict it for adults, with penalties of up to five years in prison for doctors who violate it. The bill also requires adults seeking gender-transition care to sign a consent form and prohibits such care from being prescribed via telemedicine. Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to sign it into law. The legislation is one of several measures aimed at LGBTQ+ communities that have been passed during this year's legislative session in Florida. At least 13 states have passed similar restrictions in recent months.
