NEW YORK — Four Florida families filed a lawsuit Thursday in federal court against Florida's Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, Board of Medicine, and Board of Osteopathic Medicine, over the state ban against gender-affirming care for transgender youth.
The ban prohibits puberty blockers, hormones, cross-hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgery for people under the age of 18. The families behind the lawsuit have transgender youth who would be impacted by the restriction.
"Like most parents, my husband and I want nothing more than for our daughter to be healthy, happy, and safe," said Jane Doe, concerning her 11-year-old daughter, in the release."Being able to consult with our team of doctors to understand what our daughter is experiencing and make the best, most informed decisions about her care has been critically important for our family."
"This ban puts me and other Florida parents in the nightmare position of not being able to help our child when they need us most," said Brenda Boe."My son has a right to receive appropriate, evidence-based medical care … That has been ripped away by this cruel and discriminatory rule."
