In a contradiction of federal recommendations, Florida’s Department of Health published guidance on April 20 warning against gender-affirming care for trans youth.
A press release issued by the Florida Health Department attempted to dismiss credible evidence presented by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) after the federal government stressed that “early gender-affirming care is crucial to overall health and well-being as it allows the child or adolescent to focus on social transitions and can increase their confidence while navigating the healthcare system.”
