Opponents of a Florida law that bans medical care for transgender youth have told an appeals court that “political bullies”, including the hard-right Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, have stripped families of their right to determine their children’s future.
The claim came in a brief to Atlanta’s 11th circuit court of appeals that will issue a final rule in January on the constitutionality of DeSantis’s law prohibiting gender-affirming care for transgender minors and restricting such treatment for adults.
