A federal appeals court has cleared the way for Florida to enforce its ban on gender-affirming care for minors, including puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and gender surgeries. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals issued a 2-1 ruling, backed by two Trump appointees, allowing the state to implement the law while legal challenges continue. The court's decision also affects restrictions on adult transgender care, which are considered first-in-the-nation. This ruling temporarily blocks a lower court's injunction against the law, with the court indicating that Florida is likely to succeed on the merits of the case. The decision has led to the halt of services by providers, impacting transgender youth and adults in the state.
