"Hinkle wrote that “it is clear that anti-transgender animus” motivated sponsors of the law, pointing to inflammatory public comments made by some of the bill’s supporters, including one Florida House member who accused doctors of cutting off body parts of "little children" and throwing them in the trash.
Probably about as far removed from reality as any statement by any legislator ever,” Hinkle wrote. “Nobody who voted for the bill expressed disagreement or called these speakers out.”
The only portion of the law that has not been blocked is a prohibition on gender-affirming surgery for minors, which none of the plaintiffs challenged and Hinkle noted is “extraordinarily rare.” The opinion also didn’t address restrictions on surgery for trans adults since the adult plaintiff in the case was not seeking surgery."
