On Monday, a split Eleventh Circuit panel upheld a ruling in favor of a transgender county sheriff's deputy who sued a Georgia county. The deputy claimed that the county's health plan's ban on covering gender-confirmation surgery violated federal anti-discrimination law. The ruling requires the Georgia county to pay for the deputy’s surgery.
