Transgender adults in Florida are blindsided that a new law also limits their access to health care
apnews.com

The new law that bans gender-affirming care for minors also mandates that adult patients seeking trans health care sign an informed consent form. It also requires a physician to oversee any health care related to transitioning, and for people to see that doctor in person. Those rules have proven particularly onerous because many people received care from nurse practitioners and used telehealth. The law also made it a crime to violate the new requirements.

Another new law that allows doctors and pharmacists to refuse to treat transgender people further limits their options.

it's only hypocrisy if you take the most generous possible interpretation of the things the right-wingers say, not what they so obviously mean

it's always been very clear all along that "don't tread on me" doesn't mean the same thing as "don't tread on anybody". they want some people to be firmly tread upon, and others not to be.
