@openlynews: As of today, transgender minors in Florida are banned from accessing all forms of gender-affirming care, including hormone treatment and puberty blockers. Republican governor Ron DeSantis said these news rules will protect children, but LGBTQ+ people fear they will only make them and their families more vulnerable. From South Dakota to Tennessee and Utah, seven other U.S. have restricted transition-related healthcare for minors - though judges have blocked Arkansas’ and Alabama’s laws from taking effect pending the outcome of lawsuits. #transrights #transawareness #rondesantis #florida
