The Florida Senate on Tuesday approved legislation that would ban transgender treatments, also called 'gender-affirming care,' for minors in a party-line vote with Democrats opposed.
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis spoke Saturday to the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference, touting his electoral success. The bill, SB 254, passed 27-12 in the chamber where Republicans hold a supermajority. Introduced by Republican state Sen. Clay Yarborough, the legislation would prohibit anyone under age 18 from undergoing sex-reassignment surgeries or taking prescription-based cross-sex hormones to treat gender dysphoria.
The House bill would also allow transgender minors who are currently receiving treatment for gender dysphoria to continue taking puberty blockers through the end of the year only. The Senate bill delegates to Florida's medical boards to establish rules governing minor patients who are currently receiving puberty blockers.
Democrats were united against the bill. State Sen. Shevrin Jones, the state's first Black openly gay lawmaker, raised concerns that bans on transgender treatments have caused some gender dysphoric youths to consider taking their own lives. State Sen. Lori Berman, a Democrat from Boynton Beach, said the bill contradicts DeSantis' favorite slogan championing Florida as a"free state," according to local news outlet Florida Politics.
