For John, Bitsy and Stevie — a federal judge in Tallahassee ruled just moments ago… that you kids… aren’t MDs. YAWN.
And that none of you (and certainly not Gov. DeSantis) could be empowered to invade the privacy of treatment conversations between people experiencing gender dysphoria and their doctors.
Nor is that power granted to any state legislature. The stupid wedge issue, affecting less than 1% of all Floridians… dies… now.
Here is that full 44 page opinion of law, and some real common sense, from it:
…We put band-aids on cuts to keep dirt out not because there is “high” quality research-generated evidence supporting the practice but because we know, from clinical experience, that cuts come with a risk of infection and band-aids can reduce the risk….
Gender dysphoria is far more complicated, and one cannot know, with the same level of confidence, how to treat it. But there is now extensive clinical experience showing excellent results from treatment with GnRH agonists and cross-sex hormones. If these treatments are prohibited, many patients will suffer needlessly….
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s impotent attempts to return to phrenology — and the ugly ignorant prejudgices of the early 19th Century… end now.
Smoke that, you hateful, impotent, bitter old coots.
