Trans patients say social support and hormone treatments are improving their overall well-being. And contrary to what some state officials claim, doctors insist they are not performing surgeries on young kids.
A joint legislative committee for Florida s state medical boards has advanced a rule that would prohibit minors from receiving gender transition surgeries, puberty blockers, and hormone therapies.
Dr. Nicholas Romanello, a member of the Florida Board of Medicine, proposed the rule after explaining that the risks of the treatments outweigh the benefits.
