After a heated public hearing, Florida’s Board of Medicine and Board of Osteopathic Medicine on Friday unanimously confirmed a rule that prohibits doctors from prescribing certain treatments for children with “gender dysphoria.”
The two boards originally passed their “Standards of Practice for the Treatment of Gender Dysphoria in Minors” in November, following petitions from the state Department of Health.
