The move brings concerns that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will attempt to defund or scale back health services offered to trans students and faculty.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has requested information on transgender college students from 12 state universities. Officials in the far-right Republican’s office asked for data on the number of students who have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria or who have received treatment in university clinics state-wide, according to a survey the universities reportedly must complete by Feb. 10.

DeSantis has focused on education as a key issue, passing laws that severely strict what can be taught in universities and slamming diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The governor has focused on promoting his anti-LGBTQ agenda in the classroom as well, with the infamous “Don’t Say Gay” law and his promotion of far-right school board members.

There's nothing conservative about DeSantis' desire to implement racist policies to control curriculum in schools, whitewash history, and to deny healthcare to trans students & faculty. It's fascism.

Probably worse than that. He has known fetish for loading people up on transport vehicles and shipping them off.

Desantis is at war with LGBTQ he is a dangerous bigot !

Apparently he thinks that upping fascism will be a real votegetter outside of his Florida hellhole.

sports teams and entertainers should start treating Florida and Texas like they're China. 🤔

Good for Ron DeSantis.

No. This is purely a way for DeSantis to identify “undesirables” to further oppress them. What’s next? Forcible deportation? Camps? Face it Florida you have elected an oppressive fascist.

He won’t stop there. The Florida maga voters must be proud of how awful De Man is. Wasting their money and doing nothing for the state. Good they need to realize elections have consequences.

Gov. WhitePower Freedom sure is banning a lot of freedoms… 😳

Is he saying because they are homosexual they don't deserve healthcare or health insurance 🤔? Not quick to judge.

Does this not violate HIPAA?

Good for him.

I'm so glad I didn't live in Florida anymore, in fact we left because of this homophobic guy. HumanRights

Never not useful

When will sports teams and entertainers start treating Florida and Texas like they're S Africa's notorious Sun City back in the day and boycott those reichwing 3rd world shitholes?

So long as those 'scaled back services' deal with mutilating children, giving them hormones and forever ruining them physically, I'm okay with that.

Don't go to college in Florida! Better yet, Don't go to Florida!

HOPEFULLY
