Very well played Florida.
I do suggest however maybe some mental health counseling for these misguided youth. And the parents should be slapped.

The Florida Board of Medicine voted on Aug. 5 to advance a plan that would ban doctors from providing gender-affirming treatments such as hormone therapyand puberty blockers to youth under the age of 18.
Florida Department of Health Secretary, Dr. Joseph Ladapo acknowledged at the public hearing in Broward County, that there were “strong feelings about the issue,” but argued that current standards of care are a “substantial departure” from the “level of evidence and data surrounding the issue.”
“It is very clear that the effectiveness is completely uncertain,” Ladapo said. “I mean, maybe it is effective, but the scientific studies that have been published today do not support that.”
Ladapo agreed that findings could change in future, but said that it was unlikely, “considering what I’ve reviewed.”
Ladapo said minors experiencing gender dysphoriashould instead receive counseling to address their concerns. He sent a letter to the board expressing his opinion before the hearing.
A pediatric endocrinologist, Dr. Quentin Van Meter served as an expert for the state and warned the board that a growing number of children are seeking these treatments of gender reassignment.
“This is a giant experiment on United States children,” Van Meter warned the board.
