Florida Suing Over Gender-Affirming Care For Minors

(Tallahassee, FL) -- Florida is filing lawsuits against several major medical organizations over gender-affirming care for minors. Attorney General James Uthmeier announced actions against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the Endocrine Society, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. He says the groups have misled families about the safety of these treatments. Uthmeier claims parents were told their children would be at risk of suicide if they didn't agree to what he called "life-altering" procedures. The organizations named in the lawsuit have not yet responded publicly.
