Florida’s ban on gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth will go into effect on March 16, according to a state notice.
The Board of Medicine restrictions will bar doctors from prescribing puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgeries to treat new patients younger than 18 for gender dysphoria.
The ban on puberty blockers and hormones won’t apply to youth already being prescribed those medications prior to March 16. Current patients will be grandfathered in and allowed to continue with treatment.
