The ban, which will go into effect after a 21-day public comment period,
includes nonsurgical exceptions for young people who are already receiving care.
AcheJ6 The headline is a lie so why bother reading the story?
againstgrmrs That’s assuming physicians are documenting and coding gender dysphoria.
I support this decision. The entire transgender thing is being marketed flat out to young people by liberals who want to normalise a mental illness. Let's at least require a person to be 18 before they make serious life changing decisions that cannot be reversed.
They banned everything but clinical trials, sounds like they are being the responble adults in the room.
Finally somewhere in the US actually following the evidence. All countries whose health boards have done systematic reviews of the evidence for affirming care in adolescence have found the evidence is poor/very poor and put psych help first (Sweden, Finland, England & Wales).
Good. If a person is not considered an adult until 18,not allowed alcohol until 21 then why would they be allowed to make such a life altering decision at such a confusing time in their life. I have a hard time with parents that would even allow their child to do such a thing.
Good.
“Ban care”, what a crock. “Ban Child Mutilation” would be accurate
Republicans ARE the big government they’ve been warning us about for decades.
Good. Finally some sense is in vogue
Good news!
Is there a 'ban' on driving a car, voting, drinking alcohol, signing a legally binding contract, serving on a jury, or becoming president of the United States? No, but all of those things have age restrictions. An age restriction is not a ban.
If age restrictions are called 'bans' what should be done about tobacco, alcohol and firearms age restrictions?
Thank you Jesus Christ. Leave the children alone. Let them grow up. - Matthew 18:3-6 Esau didn't despise his birthright until he was grown then he made that adult decision - Genesis 25:34; Hebrews 13:16, 17
Groomers aren't happy
againstgrmrs This is infringement on hospitals ability to generate new and life long revenue streams. Genital reconstruction is profitable as is double mastectomies. Additionally lifelong patients needing medication, psychological support and additional hospitalizations. This ban is fascism!
That's a big win
You mean like the UK?
Thank the lord there are still sane people left in government before anymore kids are traumatized by such craziness. Kids need to be kids.
I’m glad that Dr Frankensteins will no longer be able to ruin bodies of gender non-conforming kids, many of whom would grow up to be same-sex attracted and most of whom will grow to accept their bodies if left the hell alone. Gender medicine is conversion therapy.
Just know, you are not siding with Republicans, Christians or conservatives when you want to end this horrific abuse. You are protecting people when they are vulnerable, in their youth. This isn't political.
I can’t believe this even has to happen.
Yes!
Good. Stop experimenting on children.
Good.
Fantastic news!
againstgrmrs Let’s hope the rest of the Red States fire their surgeon generals unless they do common sense medical actions like Florida- stop the poison vax, and stop the surgical deformation of kids
Excellent
Well done Florida 👍
God is great
It’s not “care” or “treatments.” It’s Frankenstinian mayhem.
Really glad to hear it. Thanks for sharing.
Good
There should be lengthy lengthy steps and professional help for a CHILD to go thru b4 making this decision. It is permanent and life altering. Why can’t they at least wait until they are 18?
they can wait til 18. you cannot friggin smoke til 21 but you can get your pp cut off at 12? So unbelievable!!
great, lead the way Florida for other states to follow
Great news
Good.
About frikin time
I love my governor
againstgrmrs This shouldn't have needed to be a rule in the first place. Common sense should have made sure that it didn't happen.
againstgrmrs It's hilarious the euphemisms democrats will use these days of 'parental choice' to justify mutilating children.. sickening
Wonderful news ❤️❤️
Great news.
againstgrmrs Awesome
It’s Florida.
Good grown ups protecting minors from bad ones. That's what good grown ups do. Minors have a God given right to expect it. Even if they are too young to appreciate it.
Good
GOOD
at least one state has a functioning brain at the top......
This headline is a flat out lie - makes it sound like they can't get any care at all. You are all a bunch of hacks
Excellent news.
A grave mistake for the many who need this treatment
Keep this up, and I might have to vote red next election
EXCELLENT. Doctors who do this should be imprisoned.
Excellent news! ❤
Good
Gender is sex stereotypes. Now, knowing that, rewrite your headline. 'Girls who don't want to be feminine aren't boys and will not automatically be given puberty blockers, testosterone and have their breasts cut off.' Better, isn't it?
Minors should not be allowed to make life and health altering decisions without consent of their legal guardians.
Good on Florida
It’s not treatment, it’s mutilation and chemical castration being perpetrated by groomers and immoral doctors looking to make 💵
So this headline is false. No 'care' is being banned. What is being banned is unnecessary and abusive medical procedures.
You can't vote, you can't be drafted, you can't drink, you can't smoke, you can't drive (till 16), you can't buy and own guns, but you can make a decision to transform your body to the opposite gender? A choice that is forever with no take backs? Common Libs find another hill
Why does the left wanna sterilize kids with mental disorders so bad?
fair as their body is not fully developed yet. Plus, emotionally and mentally have to be stable for such changes.
Stop altering children's natural growth. It's immoral.
What in the name of whatever god you adore are these people doing to the state of Florida. Last I heard, I lived in the USA. But here in FL I am now limited in my medical decisions. What’s next? DeSantis calls all my medical shots
FREEDOM!
Gender dysphoria. Finally someone got it right.
Todays GOP. Putting women in the back alley and LGBT back in the closet.
Hallelujah! There is at least one state in the union that is protecting our children!
Who in the world thought permanent genital mutilation and chemical castration of children was a solution for mental illness ? That's some Nzi level stuff.
Bravo!!!
If you know as a minor you’ll know as an adult. Then make that transition if that’s what you choose but give yourself time to grow.
maggieNYT
Duh. Anyone pushing that on minors should be jailed.
About time someone stepped in and stop these children from making these terrible decisions.
Florida sucks.
More Christians and Republicans imposing their hatred on children please vote DeSantis out he doesn’t care about you and evidently the Christians donate their questions aren’t supposed to hate If they actually follow the teachings of Jesus which they don’t
Another reason to get rid of DeathSantis - so Florida gets a new surgeon general
Good.
'Care'?
More media normalization of fascism.
GOOD !!! But it's ridiculous that it has to be 'approved ' , it's just freaking obvious!!! Not 18 NOT old or mature enough to make life changing, life long decisions!!!!
these f*cking people....always getting in other peoples lifes!!!!
Therapy, counseling, endocrinological and other forms of treatment are still available.
Congratulations 👍❤️
God bless Governor Ron Desantis!
Christianity is beyond disgusting.
Great news! God Bless Florida.
Excellent
All the minors who harm themselves because of this inane prohibition ought to be laid at DeSantis feet.
Good.
What happened to “Florida outlaws life-saving gender affirming health care?”
Good news. Let kids be kids
WTF!
I am a liberal to the bone you can check my tweets out but I agree with this here if you don’t stand for nothing you will go for anything
So they are following the recommendations of the NHS. Good on them.
Poor WAPO they sound upset that adults can no longer mutilate children nor chemically castrate them. Which is what were talking about.
HRC AllOut OutRightIntl ILGAWORLD hrw ACLU PinkNews gaytimes ConduitTrans That is absolutely appalling! TransRightsAreHumanRights. It's a pity that's not recognised in Florida, & in other 'Red States' of the USA, but it IS the case!
Nice!
No, it's banned doctors from providing care. The diametric OPPOSITE of freedom in Florida, the antithesis of parental choice. It's imposing his beliefs unconditionally on citizens without leaving choice at all. Florida in now the most OPPRESSIVE state not the freest state.
Time to move out of that backward state.
They do not ban 'Care', though. Puberty blockers, hormones and surgeries for minors are highly questionable practices damaging children's/youth bodies without reliable evidence, which is why Sweden, Finland and now UK have stopped them.
maggieNYT Seems to me everything is now done by government with NO rights to parents! So, GovRonDeSantis RonDeSantisFL CaseyDeSantis ChristinaPushaw …. Which is it? You want it all ways… /
maggieNYT GovRonDeSantis CaseyDeSantis This 👆🏼 ! Where are all the parental rights you guys were pushing? You know, parents getting to tell on gay teachers, parents choosing which books Everyone’S kids get to read? Where are those rights ChristinaPushaw !!! /1
suz123nj Thank god❤️
Good!!!
They are going to make life so difficult, dangerous, and inhimane for trans* people, especially children & teens being helped in the midst of gender dysmorphia. DeathSantis & his minions once again are the purveyors of ignorance and hate.
Republican bigots continue their war on LGBTQ youth!!
GOOD. They should be banned FULLY
They might be too young for these choices folks
A win for stopping child abuse , way to go Florida!
Good!
Dawson40M No-one is banning 'care' Care = careful assessment, concern for all possible factors, ensuring comorbidities are evaluated Care ≠ rushing into irreversible damage, social bullying into lifetime meds & amputations, being swept along by social contagion Wake up!
Megabased
And the majority of parents support this. Children need to be have the time to determine what is right for them. It is a family decision not a government decision.
Nope, nope, nope! Florida Medical Boards officially SUCK 😈, and will be RESPONSIBLE for increased suicidal ideation among transgender youth.
To counter harm & empower parents with information & support - here is a library of information
Good.
And those pesky Swedish have the same responsible protocol. You know the Swedish who are famous for being right wing.
So in line with the Uk. Good to see sanity returning to the medical profession.
There is nothing called 'gender dysphoria'. These are myths invented by the filthy Satanists.
That’s not “freedom” or “parents choice”, where is the consistency GovRonDeSantis wants to be a Dictator! Vote CharlieCrist
GOOD
Mommy, I changed my mind. Sorry, can't be fixed.
Thought Repubs were against National Healthcare coz they were afraid of politicians making our med. decisions? Seems like they wanna get all up in our healthcare if it involves vaginas in one way or another, forcing them to carry a fetus to term, removing them, building them
Great news, keyword here is children!
Exactly how common is this? Does it really warrant the time of all the state legislation? Exactly how much time and money was spent making this a law? Party of fiscal conservatives, my ass.
So let me get this straight....Florida is the only state keeping up with progressive European countries on this.....what is wrong with us in the US FFS
Hallelujah 🙏🛐✝️
Wapo = Democrat propaganda
Thank God there are still sane people in this world
Yes! Kids deserve our protection
Peter Pan would not approve
Good. Protect kids from irreversible surgeries and medicalization.
Finally…
Damn shame it had to go that far, but if we've learned anything in the last couple of years it's we can't trust our doctors to make ethical choices and we can't trust the State to disbar those that would do harm.
The most common sense decision in a long long time
What would DeSantis do if his child was transgender?
Good for Florida!
Thank heaven!!!
GovRonDeSantis is a straight up b*tch!
This should be between the youth, their parents and their doctors. This will be incredibly harmful for trans youth in Florida 😔
Awesome...LEAVE THOSE KIDS ALONE.
Because cruelty is their point.
Gender confusion
Exactly what conservatives have been saying forever they want politicians involved in personal medical decisions
Thank god.
So now it's gender dysphoria? I was suspended for calling it that.
If they're not mature enough to own a rifle under parental supervision before age 21, they're not mature enough to transition until 21. 🤷♀️
Time for everyone to move from Florida. I refuse to spend travel dollars to go there. Boycott Florida.
You frame iatrogenic hormone disruption and bizarre amputations and plastic surgeries as 'care.' Your Genderologist bias is why you are not fit for purpose.
Leave our kids alone
Florida should be sawed off from the mainland and left to float out to sea forever...
Excellent.!
Are children allowed to choose to smoke, drink alcohol, buy a gun or get a tattoo. If not then they shouldn't be allowed to make life altering decisions on other things.
Of course the perverts at the WaPo think it's perfectly normal for kids to be making life changing decisions...preferably without parent involvement...right WaPo?
It appears that the law prohibits the creation of trans gender children.
Good. Shouldn't be doing irreversible things to children who are uncomfortable and confused due to their changing bodies. Also if I want to get lasik it's deemed cosmetic therefore not concerned by insurance, but this isn't cosmetic?
maggieNYT The irony never stops with these clowns. 'You can't make me get a vaccination! But I can tell women what to do with their bodies, and parents what they can or cannot do for their kids!'
Glory God, thank everyone 🙏🏻
Ban sterilization and surgical mutilation of minors as treatment of psychological disorders. Seems reasonable. 🤷🏽♂️
genspect Good job Florida
DEBRACLINTON So how do you deny care to a child
Crazy world when this is even up for discussion 😳🤦♂️♥️🇺🇲♥️
Science says adolescents' brains are under construction until their early 20s. The minimum legal drinking age is 21 because, you know, the science. No hard drugs( which is what puberty blockers are) or alcohol for minors
Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯
Amen.
pittparents Wait, I thought Gender Dysphoria was different than Trans?
They want to do what they want about a global pandemic but have no problem playing doctor with kids and their parents
Good
Good
The party of freedom. Politicians making medical decisions.
Free state?
12doglady Republicans love to punch down.
pittparents Great news
Hallelujah
I thought that florida was all about freedoms? All I'm seeing is a reduction out of that backwards state
Either they’re legitimate or not, and if they are… wowzer!!!
lascapigliata8 Excellent 👏🏻
UROCKlive1 That guy is an unqualified quack. Are they following his lead?
Florida is a REGRESSIVE State where Politicians still believe in: June Cleaver & Donna Reed.. Can’t wait to see who the blame when Miami & the Outter Islands are all under water!
Where did DeSantis find this loser
That's amazing news, Congratulations!
Republicans want to control everything about your body, what you read, what you learn. And say they are the party of freedom. What a crock!
maggieNYT Shouldn’t we accept ourselves as we are, baring no congenital issues? Trying to artificially change one’s sex will never change our DNA. Sexual expression of one’s identity seems the better way to go. Sex changing hormones & surgery is unhealthy.
Ugly stuff.
Great news! Now ban it federally
A state medical board was asked to review a treatment and indication for treatment, then outlawed it against the AMA and AAPeds?
Curious who was on the board?
Good. Cutting off a girl's t*ts doesn't make her a boy, even in California.
Good
VenturaReport 👊🏻Florida 💪🏻🇺🇸
Sad we have to debate if it's ok to mutilate kids
That’s awesome! It’s too bad that it took a law to stop that child abuse!
They didn't 'ban care' They banned treatments that permanently mutilate minors
maggieNYT The2 biggest losers there is
They must be so proud!
Good.
Great
maggieNYT Good. Minors should be given these drugs. They are too young to make good decisions and no one should make this decision for them.
maggieNYT That “slope” sure is getting mighty slippery
The cruelty is a feature, not a bug.
SFW Kellie-Jay Keen AdultHumanFemale StandingforXX Miami 5th November, 1pm LetWomenSpeak LetWomenSpeakUSA Miami
Dawson40M Well done Florida 👏
Guess gays weren't minority enough.
Ezinger44 Good. Anything else is child abuse.
I love all of the people who are mad that they won't be able to sexually mutilated children anymore
maggieNYT More GovRonDeSantis RonDeSantisFL parental interference!
And treatment for gynecomastia in puberty is gender affirming care for cis boys .
They did it with tattoos, seems this is just as important.
Bigoted bullshit. Any medical personnel who signs off this ban should be expelled for violating their oath.
Hard to believe that other States haven’t passed this Rule. Puberty is difficult enough
maggieNYT
Big government conservatives will want to control every part of our lives if we don’t stop them now. VoteBlueIn2022
Excellent
Good!! 👏
maggieNYT nazi’s on parade “Repression against gay men and lesbians commenced within days of Hitler becoming Chancellor. On 6 May 1933, the Nazis violently looted and closed The Institute for Sexual Science, burning its extensive collection on the streets.”👇🏽
GovRonDeSantis wants to play with their little peckers before they get the big hard on! That’s what Tiffany Cross was talking about, the Florida Dicks.
Republicans are now officially pro-suicide. No other way to state it. They'll walk right over the cold bodies of trans youth to further their sick ideological war
maggieNYT All from Desantis's dark feelings about gay community
maggieNYT DeathDantis once again going out of his way to inflict unnecessary cruelty when our democracy is at stake in less than a week. Vote this clown out. Vote for CharlieCrist!
News stories like these are why independents will vote Republican.
DIsgusting. These therapies are used far more often for other issues. Because of this, physicians will now be reluctant to provide any of these therapies regardless of the reason. Another authoritarian Christofacist rule to take control of parents' decisions and body autonomy.
maggieNYT These are not being used as treatments for “gender dysphoria”, they are being prescribed without any diagnosis of gender dysphoria or purely on the basis for self diagnosis ie “I’m a woman” or “I’m a man”
maggieNYT How horrible. So sad.
UROCKlive1 Instead, they will be given stern lectures and sent to conversion camps in Mississippi. ‘Cuz, god. I gave up my NYT subscription bc it no longer included any reasonable sense of rage toward clearly horrifying human behaviors. 🤷♂️
maggieNYT uh oh he has sanpaku eyes
Good guys: 1 Bad guys: 0
I so hate Florida I was rooting for the last hurricane
maggieNYT You left out that the FL Surgeon General is the “demon sperm” doctor… probably shouldn’t be allowed near kids
maggieNYT Excellent.
'small government!!'
JJohnsonLaw Talk about government overreach.
This is the dude that refused to mask up for a cancer vulnerable colleague, even after she asked him to? There’s not going to be any mercy
It's ironic how the same people may support and oppose 'the decision over a person's body is between that person and the doctor', depending on who the person is, or what the doctors decide.
As it should be everywhere. When they're adults, then let them choose. It's called common sense folks.
Amen. Too young to buy a gun, to young to change genders.
firmly for gay and transgender rights, but on this particular issue, i agree with this medical board decision
Thank goodness.
So yeah this will be going to court. Parents have the right to raise their kids how they see fit. The Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld that.
There’s the wannabe dick-tatie
I told you desantis wants to be God, raise your kids for you and make sure your Dr does what he wants.
🎉
Once again, Christians and their GOP henchmen impose their bigotry and delusions on other people’s children. Truly sadistic
So much for parental freedom. This is,what a dictator does.
Wtf is it even their call? GOP obsession with genitalia of minors is really sick.
It’s what Christ would do, such remarkably bigoted Christians.
See you in court...
Not it's time to go national.
Desantis is by far the best candidate for either party in 2024
England just did the same. Smart move.
It makes sense… if it’s not health related then it’s cosmetic
Key word “minor” as an adult do with your genitals what you want,but as minors not advisable
Framed this one for a certain interpretation lol.
Cant believe i live in a world were this is necessary
How does that guy keep his license?
