Florida lawmakers have sent to the desk of GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis a slate of bills that will alter the lives of transgender people in Florida – including their access to health care and everyday amenities
. DeSantis, who is nearing a likely campaign for president in the coming weeks, is expected to sign them. Lawmakers gave final passage on Thursday to a bill that prohibits transgender children from receiving gender-affirming treatments, including prescriptions that block puberty hormones or sex-reassignment surgeries. Under the legislation, a court can intervene to temporarily remove a child from their home if they receive gender-affirming treatments or procedures.
Last year, the governor became a forceful proponent of a bill that banned the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity for students through third grade. The bill, which DeSantis signed into law, drew national condemnation, including from the White House. It attracted opposition from Disney, setting off an ongoing clash between DeSantis and the entertainment giant.
