Appeals Court Rules that Florida May Go Ahead with Ban of Trans Procedures on Kids

An Appeals Court in Florida has ruled that the state may go ahead to implement its law banning sex changes, trans surgeries, and puberty blockers for children.

In a 2-1 ruling, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit denied the demands of opponents of the 2023 law to halt its implementation while lawsuits over it continue.

So, at least for now, the courts say that the law can go into effect and trans outrages on kids must end in the Sunshine State.

The court rejected claims by the leftist attackers that children would be “irreparably harmed” if the law is put into effect.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Per the Christian Post:

“The district court itself recognized that there were ‘legitimate concerns’ about some of the treatments’ effects, as well as a ‘risk of misdiagnosis,’ ‘risks attendant to treatment,’ and the potential for ‘additional medical risks,’” continued the majority. “Considering these factual conclusions, we think Florida has satisfied its burden to show that the fourth factor favors a stay.”

Circuit Judge Charles Wilson, a Clinton appointee, authored a dissenting opinion, claiming that there was “sufficient record evidence to support concluding that the act’s passage was based on invidious discrimination against transgender adults and minors.”

“On balance, evidence in the record demonstrates that the plaintiffs and class-members would suffer if the stay were granted — withholding access to gender-affirming care would cause needless suffering,” he argued in defense of performing trans procedures on children.

“In contrast, denying the stay would support a ruling grounded in the public interest. This matter is a medical issue, where patients are best left to make decisions alongside health professionals, with access to complete, unbiased information, as needed.”

This is a good ruling.

Now let’s hope the nuisance lawsuits fail, too, and the law can be made permanent.
