Florida parents filed a lawsuit against state medical boards and Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo last month, alleging their ban on trans care for minors is unconstitutional.
People hold signs during a joint board meeting of the Florida Board of Medicine and the Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine gather to establish new guidelines limiting gender-affirming care in Florida, on Nov. 4, 2022.
"Defendants cannot demonstrate any rational basis, much less an important or compelling one, for the transgender medical bans which prevent transgender adolescents from getting safe and effective medically necessary healthcare," the lawsuit continues. The policies from both medical boards in focus went into effect last month, but the Florida Board of Medicine and the Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine both approved measures to prohibit minors from receiving such treatments last November.
