Incredible news out of Florida.
Florida's gender affirming care ban has been blocked in part. The decision is complex, but this should be enough to allow care to proceed soon.

REMINDER TO JOURNALISTS:
While reporting todays news, keep in mind this ruling impacts people who are able to get pregnant. This is not exclusive to only those identifying as a woman.
Anti-trans legislation “is an attempt to remove trans kids from social life,” Professor TJ Billard said. “So [trans kids] and their families would basically be ostracized to the point where they might as well not exist.”
