Federal Court Reinstates Florida's Ban on Transgender Treatments for Minors

The ruling allows the state to enforce restrictions on gender-affirming care while legal challenges continue.

A divided panel from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a 2-1 decision to stay a lower court's ruling.
The law prohibits puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries for minors, with some exceptions for ongoing treatments.
Judges Britt Grant and Robert Luck, appointed by Donald Trump, supported the stay, while Clinton appointee Charles Wilson dissented.
The decision impacts over 16,000 transgender minors in Florida and restricts certain treatments for adults as well.
Legal and medical organizations argue the law causes harm and are considering further legal action.
