US judge in #Florida blocks enforcement of state ban on gender-affirming care https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-judge-florida-blocks-enforcement-state-ban-gender-affirming-care-2023-06-06/
Judge clear that law based on sex and trans status and therefore triggers intermediate scrutiny under equal protection
Ultimately it doesn't matter bc govt does not even have a legitimate interest, only animus
Opinion starts by stating unequivocally that gender identity is real, transgender people exist, and the medical community consensus is that treatment helps.
