The Florida Department of Health urged the state’s board of medicine to establish standards of care in accordance with guidance strongly advising against child sex treatments in a Thursday letter.
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo pointed to a lack of evidence on the safety and efficacy of the procedures and urged the Florida Board of Medicine to consider the department’s guidance that advised against child sex changes, according to the letter. The move is the latest effort from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration to restrict sex-change treatments, particularly for children.
“The Department thinks that the evidence speaks for itself,” Florida Department of Health press secretary Jeremy Redfern told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “The letter from the Surgeon General reiterates his stance on protecting children from politics-based medicine.”
“The scientific evidence supporting these complex medical interventions is extraordinarily weak,” the letter read. “The current standards set by numerous professional organizations appear to follow a preferred political ideology instead of the highest level of generally accepted medical science. Florida must do more to protect children from politics-based medicine. Otherwise, children and adolescents in our state will continue to face a substantial risk of long-term harm.”

That what leadership looks like.
Continue to be impressed with Gov. DeSantis.
It’d still be a four-year waste of his talent… he needs to either remain as FL’s Governor or be elected President. VP is way below his abilities.
Trump would be hogtied for four years and desantis would be defanged along with him
No DeSantis needs to lead the next pack.
Trump is a fool if he doesn’t step aside and then become head of some of the cabinet positions as they are moving departments out of Washington, and closing others.
